@taylorlorenz The story in the Hill has the following at the end:

Hasan is the latest in a slew of former cable news pundits to launch media companies and brands of their own.

The ousted Fox News pundit Tucker Carlson started the Tucker Carlson Network last year, and former CNN anchor Don Lemon plans to launch a show on X, formerly known as Twitter, later this month.

The Hill seems to be trying to say something about Mehdi when they're comparing him to those other two.

I'll follow him anywhere.
He is a true journalist.

@taylorlorenz he's done great work but I'm a bit apprehensive of his more conservative views on abortion

@abolitionkelly @taylorlorenz oh no! I didn’t know he had those ugh. He’s been not great on certain pandemic stuff too. Overall I think he’s a good force in the TV news world though

@taylorlorenz Unfortunately, on Substack. That pretty much undermines the entire effort.

@taylorlorenz Why is it great news that a "fantastic journalist" has decided to partner with an objectively pro-Nazi platform?

@taylorlorenz

This is bad news, he's using Substack.
