A Note To Zeteo's Mehdi Hasan (About Problems In American Journalism Today)

 

 On Democracy Now! you said "there are not two sides to every story" and journalists "should have a bias toward truth". On Gaza, we agree 100%. 

   

 But you are the journalist who also said he believes a prophet rode to Heaven on a winged horse, making your "bias toward truth" look about as accurate as Dave Chappelle's partner, Neal Brennan, when he described atheists as the "smug hypocites" promoting Vision Boards to the world. 

    

 Can you imagine Richard Dawkins with a Vision Board? Well, sometimes, when I hear you speak, that's not only how accurate you sound but, I think, may play into why your work inspires hostility: not being accurate is leading you into not being fair, and - since there's only one side to the story - you're unrelenting about spreading a lie. You know, like a prophet rode to Heaven on a winged horse. That sort of thing.

"As Black Voters Drift to Trump, Biden’s Allies Say They Have Work to Do" according to The New York Times, reporting a rise in black support of 500%. Meanwhile, you're insisting Trump is "in bed with white supremacists," which should tell anyone something's "off" in your analysis. I think you're missing too much data to have an informed opinion on what you're seeing.

For instance, you say "one party," the Republicans, are "fully radicalized" and "spreading some of the worst QAnon conspiracy theories out there," instead of accurately reporting on an unfortunate early 2000's Democrat party phenomena that was "fully radicalized" long before it exploded nationwide, after the pandemic, resulting in other bizarreness you can see, like a NewAge spiritualist, Marianne Williamson, or a quack like Dr. Oz, running for office.

Of course, both Marianne Williamson and Dr. Oz - as well as "some of the worst QAnon conspiracy theories out there" - are all tied to the ever-popular Oprah Winfrey, the journalist who campaigned for and with Barack Obama, who is treated like a prophet who will ride to Heaven on a winged horse. The result being you - placing blame on Republicans - for problems you should be investigating the Democrats and journalists for promoting. But trust me: 

If you think the media shoots softball questions at Trump, how you treat yourselves will amaze you.
