Ex-MSNBC Host Mehdi Hasan Launching His Own Media Company to Fill Progressive ‘Gap in the Market’
Mediaite ^ | 28 Fe 2024 | Zachary Leeman

Former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan is launching his own digital media company that he’s hoping will fill a “gap in the market.”

“No one really on the progressive left has been able to pull off anything similar,” Hasan told The Washington Post’s Jeremy Barr about the venture.

He added later that there is a “craving” and “gap in the market” he intends to fill.

“I believe there is a craving for media organizations that don’t shy away from saying the truth, even if it’s uncomfortable, even if it bothers people, even if it hinders access, even if it shakes the apple cart,” he said. “From a purely business perspective, there is a gap in the market.”

Yes, because EVERYONE knows the national media is hard core right wing and reactionary.

Look at the list of big names, so conservative: Rachel Maddow, Chris Wallace, Don Lemon, Jake Tapper, George Stepponallofus, Marsha Raddish, Chuck Toad, Angrier Mitchell, Joy Reid, Dana Bash, Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cooper... The list of famous right wingers is ENDLESS!

There isn’t a gap because when Err America collapsed it pulled all the leftist media figgers down with it.

Dummy. The reason Fox outranks all other networks is because left leaning media is super fragmented already. If you have money to burn, then I guess you can do it for a loss like Soros buying up more terrestrial radio.

Lately I’ve just been watching youtube on the TV. Some great content on there. Great podcasters. I am not a huge fan of the algorithm in general but it seems to “know” what videos to cue up next that I might like. Which I find very odd because Google search has turned to crap; burying stories that I know I used to be able to find fairly easily. Google search seems to be pushing content that pays them (and of course, fits their narrative), while youtube I guess gets paid about the same whatever you watch? Plus it’s not as easy to share videos as you can cut/paste text and share a link. You all reading this are done but I made this post a video you’d probably not watch it.

More money will be spent this election season than in 2020. Once the conventions are
over and all the federal money is available its like hitting a jackpot. If he can get up
and running by the summer he can cash in on election advertising alone then close
shop after the election swimming in cash.

He will be going through his money though...

It will be fun to watch the revelation that his is the lying side.
