Annalee Newitz 🍜What the actual fuck. One of my favorite political commentators, Mehdi Hasan, has been speaking out very eloquently, with his usual evidence-based arguments, in favor of Palestinian rights. And as a result, MSNBC canceled his popular show. This is a terrifying sign that so-called free speech in this country is anything but free. https://presswatchers.org/2023/11/msnbc-cancels-mehdi-hasan-a-truth-teller-in-a-time-of-crisis/
Garrett Wollman@annaleen To be honest, it's a surprise MSNBC as a whole has survived its varying near-death experiences, considering that its ownership is politically on the opposite side from most of the marquee hosts.
