Brain Tumor Kept Martin Bashir Out of Work

It was reported in 2008 that MSNBC’s Martin Bashir has a brain tumor. The illness is still there and causing problems.

“I have a brain tumor,” Bashir told FishbowlDC last night when asked why he was absent from his TV program Friday. “It’s fine but it causes a problem from time to time,” he said.

The Daily Mail first reported Bashir’s tumor, quoting “a family friend” who at the time said “there are no signs that the tumour is cancerous, or that it will grow.”

Bashir was attending the Electronic Arts inauguration after-party at the W Hotel Monday night.
