NEW YORK (AP) - Conservative commentator Pat Buchanan, who's been suspended from MSNBC for the past four months, won't be coming back.
The network said Thursday that it had decided to part ways with the former GOP presidential candidate after 10 years.
He hasn't been on the network since the October publication of his book "Suicide of a Superpower." MSNBC President Phil Griffin says he didn't think the book should be part of the national dialogue.
Buchanan, in a column posted Thursday night, called the decision "an undeniable victory for the blacklisters."
