Washington DC – Former MSNBC presenter, Mehdi Hasan The New York Timesaccusing the document not to efficiently represent the ideological “left” of the country.
Speaking in Semafor’s innovation to restore confidence in News news, Hasan was asked on Thursday if he wanted to expand the scope of his Zeteo news brand, which he launched last year after leaving MSNBC, so that news consumers from all the political spectrum subscribe to their environment.
“I could have hired a group of Republicans never winners, right? Do I am friendly with whom I am friendly. I did not do that … Look, they are everywhere. They have enough platforms,” Hasan told Max Tani de Semafor on Thursday. “What is not working well when we are talking about the diversity of points of view, you know, we are obsessed with taking out the point of view. The New York Times will send 100 journalists in Iowa to talk to Trump’s voters, but what is missing, of course, is the left.”
“Isn’t it crazy that three cycles now, the New York Times does not have a supporter of Bernie Sanders,” he continued. “I mean, Jamelle Bouie, more or less, but there is no real” real Bernie Bernie ‘in the pages of the New York Times. Where is the ideological diversity to the left? “
The New York Times did not immediately respond to Fox News DigitalRequest for comments.

The progressive personality of the media promoted their own hiring practices in Zeteo, its news platform based in the subsack and on YouTube, arguing that, unlike the Times, their departure represents fairly to the left.
“Then, for me, I wanted to have voices from the left, the center to the left, the left end,” Hasan said.
“We have John Harwood, who is a kind of former chief liberal ex-cnn, ex-cnbc who writes very well (about the) Democratic Party very well. I am a great admirer of John. That’s why he was one of my first hiring. I am so proud that he joined Zeteo. We also joined Naomi Klein, who does not see in the veil. Minister) You know, he saw him as a traitor of the left, “he continued. “So we have a wide variety of views on the left, the center of the left, the liberal left, but no, everywhere that I have worked is full of conservatives. I will not start a media company and say ‘Come on, conservatives!'”

Hasan left MSNBC in January 2024 after the cancellation of his program weeks before. He was a strong critic of Israel’s response to Hamas terrorist attack on October 7 and his ongoing war in Gaza, while condemning Hamas’ attack itself.
Critics accused MSNBC of hardening one of the most prominent Muslim voices on the network after October 7. It was said After its weekend and the real turkey shows were canceled that Hasan would remain with MSNBC as an analyst in the air and a filling host. However, the network rarely used it, since it only made a single appearance in the air outside its own program during that time, according to the transcripts of Record.
