Summary

Mehdi Hasan is a broadcaster with a big bite. His MSNBC show was abruptly cancelled at the end of last year. But not before his criticism of Israel’s war in Gaza had sparked plaudits, and protests, around the world. He’s best-known for his tongue-lashing monologues and probing interviews, which have made him a hit online. Now Mehdi’s joined the US Guardian, using his first column to call Israel’s offensive a “genocide.” He's also starting his own media company, Zeteo News. His New York Times bestseller “Win Every Argument” was notably written before he had appeared on this show. Now, Mehdi Hasan is Uncensored. Hosted on Acast.
