    Mehdi Hasan

    Mehdi Hasan

    Mediaite editor Aidan McLaughlin speaks with Mehdi Hasan, the former MSNBC host who just announced the launch of a new digital media company, Zeteo. Hasan left MSNBC after the network canceled his show in the wake of Oct. 7 and Israel's war in Gaza. The cancelation sparked an outcry, and Hasan capitalized on that outrage to leave the network and launch his new outlet, one he promises will speak more truthfully about issues like war and U.S. politics than the traditional media. McLaughlin and Hasan discuss why he left MSNBC, how to start a digital media outlet during the digital media apocalypse, how the press is covering the Israel-Hamas war, Biden's performance as president, and Trump's resilience among the electorate.

Clay Travis? 🤮🤮🤮

Absolutely right to free speech.
And this scary person wants to vote for Trump ten times over after everything we know now? After Jan 6th? Uh…this man is extremely frightening like the candidates he lives so much.
Dems would have rioted if Biden didn’t win? The man is quite full of himself.
Get him away from vulnerable people. Ew.
