You can disapprove of Bashir's single remark and still acknowledge his talent.

So less than 24 hours after Martin Bashir announced his resignation from MSNBC over the Sarah Palin/S*hit-in-her-mouth scandal, MSNBC’s other ex-employee, Alec Baldwin has said he disapproves.
But the not-homophobic 30 Rock star also acknowledges Bashir’s “talent.” Perhaps he’s talking about the talent Bashir showed during his 2003 documentary Michael Jackson where he simultaneously pretended to be a journalist while really being a sycophant to Jacko.
Baldwin began his Bashir mourning last night:
I wish @MartinBashir the best of luck.
Some of these cable venues really are Off-Off Television.

Broadcasters on certain networks are called upon to offer analysis of events and public policy, day in, day out

Unlike Bashir, Baldwin was ceremoniously fired from his short-lived MSNBC show, Up Late With Alec Baldwin, after he allegedly called a photographer a “c*cksucking f*g.”
