Disgraced former MSNBC political analyst Mark Halperin lands book deal -- and renewed criticism

Twitter

Less than two years after the Game Change author lost his gigs at MSNBC, HBO and Showtime over the revelation of past sexual misconduct at ABC News, Halperin has signed a book deal that will feature interviews with more than 75 top Democratic strategists -- from James Carville to David Axelrod to Donna Brazile. Gretchen Carlson was among those outraged by the book deal, tweeting that "this is a slap in the face to all women." CNN's Oliver Darcy asked various networks if they'd let Halperin promote the book on their shows. ABC and CNN said no, while MSNBC declined to comment. UPDATE: CBS News and MSNBC/NBC News say they won't have Halperin on.
