Mehdi Hasan: Why He Left MSNBC, Israel, Gaza, Biden & Trump

►Subscribe to Mediaite: https://bit.ly/3MjuECB In the latest episode of "Press Club", Mediaite's new video podcast, host Aidan McLaughlin sits down 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. Press Club is a new video podcast featuring personal and probing conversations with the top figures in media and politics. Each week, Mediaite editor-in-chief Aidan McLaughlin sits down with the broadcasters, reporters, editors, and executives making the headlines. Guests will take listeners inside the news industry, reveal its secrets, and break down the forces shaping its trajectory. New episodes drop every Thursday.
