Incoming trollfarm accounts pretending to be Tabibi fans
@terribletomvu37 Says:
It would be so cool if you guys invited him on the show and bad mouthed in front of him so that he could defend himself. But then what would Matt Taibbi gain from talking with a bunch of D listers?
@eddieschneider1947 Says:
the lady in glasses totally misrepresented what Matt was saying. It is just the opposite. She is lying.
@Axyl-iz5dh Says:
I'm surprised this video is still up after Taibbi was conclusively proven to have been telling the truth...
@jackiesantangelo6610 Says:
Once upon a time, not Taibbi actually makes sense. What happened to him?
@averyetvspecial1487 Says:
You can tell from Taibbi’s voice alone that he’s a glue sniffer.
@DasGigPig Says:
Hasan is a spineless, smear merchant and I wonder what his price is for a hit piece like this. What a dog.
@user-di8hm2jl2u Says:
Are you joking? Medhi is a liar. Matt is the last journalist that hasnt turned to lying for their masters.
Evil is evil, even when the blue team does it. You can tell now who actual principled liberals were.
@robertbeery1084 Says:
TYTbitches. Your stories are being ridiculed on a more and more regular basis. Your time has come. Go to the light.
@yallmustveforgot Says:
Its amazing how self unaware people like mehdi hasan and TYT have become. They really think the shit they say makes sense. When we all actually recognize them as the pompous hypocrites that they are.
@matthewharris8819 Says:
Wait, people think Matt Taibbi came off looking good here?
@cobaltbomba4310 Says:
I don't trust MSNBC bitch Medhi who is highly self-obsessed narcissist, look down upon the other people-islam style(!)
@hoagied3783 Says:
The ultimate irony is that while dishonestly smearing Taibbi over a letter in an acronym, Medhi made a much larger error, accusing him of saying this under oath which wasn’t true. Per usual, horrible, evidence free take from TYT
@Frank-gd5zk Says:
what filthy vermin you are.
@DanFreemanThee Says:
This is putrid
@robertneil65 Says:
Time to expose Hasan for what he really is, a pseudo left bottom feeder, someone who picks up the scraps of better abled journalists and weaponizes minor mistakes to attack them. The left from within the left, kind of the same tactic TYT uses in their tiresome news segments. Nothing to be applauded here, Hasan is only interested in Hasan, bettering his own career, not interested in real journalism, he feeds the narrative only to please his keepers.
@collybeans586 Says:
Yeah Matt got a letter wrong. Mehdi really showed him huh? 😂 MSNBC lies about absolutely everything and pushed the Russia gate nonsense for years but Matt Taibbi got a letter wrong. 😅
@DanKallem Says:
Hmm, Hassan accusing Taibbi of lying is deeply ironic and…a lie itself in that Hassan is demonstrably a tool of the state.
@offrailrussiagaters Says:
was the Freudian slip 'cold' for "core" about to get finished by "war"..as in: Cold War (mentality). the Jung Slurps endlessly recycle, lapping up from the (media) well they've intentionally urinated into; It's reminiscent of a dick-cheney, auto-initiated, media-disinfo loop.
The core of the Taibbi reporting on massive state censorship and election interference by the American deepsate, remains untouched. It's a bit like when they tried to change the focus away from the dnc's own emails which dnc employee Seth Conrad Rich leaked to Wikileaks. Seth was subsequently shot near his home in the District, dying in a hospital a few hours later. as Sy Hersh might comment..at the end of the day, the twitter files are still the twitter files..and the dnc emails were still authored by the dnc--despite their attempts to distract from the content itself.
@thomastaylor9586 Says:
Taiibi wasn't expecting Medhi Hassan to make up fake accusations, kangaroo style. Likewise who would have figured that fake congress-it Stacey Placet would threaten Taiibi with prison for her own fake lie?

It seems TY(T) is as desperate as Hasan.

@maryhalverson5713 Says:
Mad Hat Hassan is a plagiarizing poser whose baseless nitpicking only appeals to desperate drain swirlers like the dolts at the Daily Beast and TYT.
@johndunne7900 Says:
Mahdi Hasan is a buffoon of a journalist although calling him a journalist is a stretch, his integrity is nowhere near Matts integrity and honesty.
@IhaytFukkingsocialmedia Says:
7:33 okay Ben DWEEB, you HYPOCRITE BOOTLICKING SCUM: "this awesome interview from mehdi hassan" YOU CNN FASCIST BOOTLICKER SCUM!!!!
@IhaytFukkingsocialmedia Says:
WowTHIS video is AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL!! NEVER SEEN ANYTHING FROM TYT THIS BAD EVER!!!! PLS ANA STOP THIS MADNESS! Ben Glieb the gross guy, Mehdi Hasan the potato-headed methed up CNN hoe, Max Burns the Republican politician, this weird middle-school looking braces BLOB of a psycho-eyebrow smile-obsessed FAKE ogre TYT commentator THESE ARE abominations to leftist independent media, WTF EVEN MAN?? YOURE LOSING US
Why is Max Burns labeling Matt Taibbi's confusion over being OPPRESSED by a Fascist DNC overlords the likes of DWS (Debbie Wasserman Schulz) as "stupidity" and "incompetence"? Can you imagine someone poor and marginalized like an african american or transperson attacked by a powerful government entity being labelled that way? Blaming a marginalized group for their own social oppression? That's the type of mentality here.
@TMac473 Says:
I still can’t believe there’s people dumb enough to take medhi or TYT seriously. You subscribers are dumb AF!
@bradleyriles3889 Says:
I wonder how many people have paid attention to the follow up on this interview?
@spkay6317 Says:
Haha. Just had a look at your channel. Just more nonsense partisan US news. Why can’t the US do nuance? I won’t be back.
@tcorourke2007 Says:
Hey TYT viewers:
I know you understand our nation is a corporate cleptocracy. Please be advised that the government is not going to stop its censorship at what you personally find offensive. Ultimately, if you wait until they remove content you agree with, they will already have the power to censor you.
@LesserMoffHootkins Says:
How do you know Musk silenced speech? Because Hasan said so?
@terryeaster1 Says:
Horse shit
@stefansnellgrove Says:
Who’s Matt Taibbi? Never heard of him. Was he the one who leaked the classified information on discord?
@dougwayne Says:
Mehdi Hasan has always been a leftist lying loud mouth.
He is the furthest thing from the truth. Rather than listening to Matt he tried to intimidate to shut him up. FACT Twitter sat on the Hunter laptop story and shut down anyone who disagreed affecting the outcome of the election
@Silence_Duder_Gooder Says:
*FOREWORD*
Since Mehdi likes to put his periods outside of quotation marks, I'm going to hyper focus on that "mistake" over everything else because, if it's good for the goose? Just kidding (not really).
I highlighted in *bold* the *problem areas* of this guy's beseeching a right-wing rag for a gig. And will later explain and give credible elaboration for why I did so.
Enjoy! 😝

_"Dear Mr Dacre,_
_"My name is Mehdi Hasan and I’m the New Statesman’s senior political editor. My good friend Peter Oborne suggested I drop you a line as I’m very keen to write for the Daily Mail._
_"Although I am on the left of the political spectrum, and disagree with the Mail’s editorial line on a range of issues, I have always admired the paper’s passion, rigour, boldness and, of course, news values. I believe the Mail has a vitally important role to play in the national debate, and _*_I admire your relentless focus on the need for integrity and morality in public life, and your outspoken defence of faith, and Christian culture, in the face of attacks from militant atheists and secularists._*_ I also believe – as does Peter – _*_that I could be a fresh and passionate, not to mention polemical and contrarian,_*_ voice on the comment and feature pages of your award-winning newspaper._
*_"For the record, I am not a Labour tribalist and am often ultra-critical of the left – especially on social and moral issues, where my fellow leftists and liberals have lost touch with their own traditions and with the great British public._*_ In my column in this week’s issue of the New Statesman, for example, _*_I offered a critique of the five Labour leadership candidates, and their various inadequacies, accusing them all of lacking what George Bush Snr once called 'the vision thing'._*
*_"I could therefore write pieces for the Mail critical of Labour and the left, from 'inside' Labour and the left_*_ (as the senior political editor at the New Statesman)._
*_"I am also attracted by the Mail’s social conservatism on issues like marriage, the family, abortion and teenage pregnancies. I’d like to write a piece for the Mail making the left-wing case against abortion,_*_ or a piece on why marriage should be a Labour value, and not just a Conservative one. _*_My own unabashed social conservatism on such issues derives from my Islamic faith._*_ But as a British Muslim, I have also upset some of my more hardline co-religionists in the past by arguing, in print, for a change in Islam’s draconian apostasy laws to allow Muslims to convert to other faiths (like Christianity). Here is a New Statesman column I wrote on the subject in April._
_"In addition, I wrote a column last year condemning suicide bombings, from an Islamic and moral perspective, in which I also castigated Muslims for failing to unequivocally condemn such acts of terror wherever in the world they occur._
*_"And, earlier this year, I wrote a piece for the Guardian belittling Muslim extremist Anjum Choudary and his crude, headline-grabbing attempt to carry 'coffins' through Wootton Bassett._*
_"A bit of background: I am 31, and was born and brought up in the United Kingdom, the son of Indian immigrants (an engineer and a doctor) who came here in the 1960s. I am an Oxfordgraduate. (sic) Prior to joining the New Statesman in June 2009, I spent a decade working in television as a news-and-current-affairs producer at ITN, the BBC, Sky News and Channel 4._
_"I do hope you’ll consider me for future columns and features in the Daily Mail on political, social, moral and/or religious issues. _*_I believe you once told sports columnist Des Kelly that he should 'make them laugh, make them cry, or make them angry'. That’s something I believe I could do for you, and for your readers, on the pages of the Mail._*
_"Thank you very much for your time._
_"Sincerely,_
_"Mehdi Hasan_
_"Senior Editor (politics)_
_"New Statesman"_
Hiliarious!
First off, let's start with this: *_"I admire your relentless focus on the need for integrity and morality in public life, and your outspoken defence of faith, and Christian culture, in the face of attacks from militant atheists and secularists."_*
So he decided to work for MSNBC? 😝
Moving on to more of Mehdi's style of nitpicking pedantry: *_"that I could be a fresh and passionate, not to mention polemical and contrarian,"_*
So he set it up to be a "contrarian"? So all this guy wanted to do was eschew facts for the sake of positioning himself to the contrary of religious-based opinions? It sounds sort of fraudulent to me. I'm sure that style of Medhi's also includes political subjects?
*_"For the record, I am not a Labour tribalist and am often ultra-critical of the left – especially on social and moral issues, where my fellow leftists and liberals have lost touch with their own traditions and with the great British public."_*
Okay, sure, he's speaking about the "British public," sure, but their Labour Party is _far left_ of our Democratic Party, and their Conservative Party sits right where the Democratic Party exists today, only the Democrats have moved even farther right than that party. And the people he's saying "lost touch"—now he works for them!?😝
*_"I offered a critique of the five Labour leadership candidates, and their various inadequacies, accusing them all of lacking what George Bush Snr once called 'the vision thing'."_*
He quoted George H.W. Bush to attack Liberals in England??? 😝
*_"I could therefore write pieces for the Mail critical of Labour and the left, from 'inside' Labour and the left"_*
And there is the _real_ Mehdi Hasan, a wolf in sheep's clothing, wrapped in a serpent's scales. The guy wanted to attack Liberals from the right side of the aisle. What a douchebag!
*_"I am also attracted by the Mail’s social conservatism on issues like marriage, the family, abortion and teenage pregnancies. I’d like to write a piece for the Mail making the left-wing case against abortion,"_*
So this guy works for MSNBC, trashes Liberals, which comprise _most_ of his audience, and he's anti-abortion too?! 😝😝😝
*_"My own unabashed social conservatism on such issues derives from my Islamic faith."_*
Okay, fine, but what _were_ those words you spoke when you gave a sermon about comparing "homosexuals" and "atheists" and other "non-believers" and people who "like music" or folks who "love dogs" to pedophiles?! 🤨
*_"I believe you once told sports columnist Des Kelly that he should 'make them laugh, make them cry, or make them angry'. That’s something I believe I could do for you, and for your readers, on the pages of the Mail."_*
And that statement shows us how the guy is more interested in manipulating his viewers than in actually informing them of the facts of a case. This clown has _zero_ integrity, almost _no_ moral fiber, and _isn't_ a journalist. He's the guy you hire to smear people and do so in a rambunctious, arrogant, and smug manner; Mehdi's a "journalist" in the same way a mercenary is a "contractor."
Mehdi Hasan is an unscrupulous bounty hunter the likes of John Ruth from QT's "Hateful 8," only with a lower likability factor. And speaking of movies, the next time you see and hear Mehdi (or just go to the video of his exchange with Matt Tabbi) do his thing in an adversarial manner, think of the character "Derek" played by the actor Adam Scott in the movie "Step Brothers."
*_"And, earlier this year, I wrote a piece for the Guardian belittling Muslim extremist Anjum Choudary and his crude, headline-grabbing attempt to carry 'coffins' through Wootton Bassett."_*
So he decided to write his _own_ "headline-grabbing" piece about a guy who, he said, did the same thing? There's a word for that.
Although I didn't read that piece, I'm betting Mehdi did some "belittling" in it as well. I can write that because that seems to be Mehdi's modus operandi and approach to what he views as "journalism." I guess we could still call it _"yellow_ 'journalism'"?
And the people who lauded this guy for his "takedown" of Matt Taibbi obviously sold out their core principles to buy the garbage he sold them, or they just didn't know how much of a hypocritical douchebag he was. But either way, if you are a fan of this guy, you _hate_ journalism. That's probably because you haven't seen it practiced over at MSNBC for, oh, I don't know, _ever?_
Not to mention that all of the "gotcha" crap that Mehdi and his fanboys and fangirls peddled has since been debunked. 😝
*AFTERWORD*
*GAME OVER!* 😂😂😂😂😂
@TheBelgica1 Says:
I like Taibbi’s work a lot. But he got destroyed in this interview. And let’s be honest, no one in the comment section thorougly researched this topic. We already decided what we wanted to believe ahead of having the facts.
@geologist1005 Says:
Mehdi usually does a great job
But here he was kind of out maneuvered
@Galatian1 Says:
Karma baby
@juicerlol Says:
Medhi actively lied in the interview saying he hasnt spoken about Hunter Biden story. He tweeted about it in 2020. He also has been a mouthpiece for the FBIs narrative of Russian disinformation. Medhi lying overtly in an interview with a guest automatically destroys any credibility and good faith in the interview.
He is also the representative of MSNBC and has a responsibility past present and future to all the lies the organisation he accepted employment from. The fact he wont apologise for the disinformation MSNBC has pushed is a clear indicator he has no integrity.
@josh52785 Says:
7:19. Perfect example of the problem here. He says Matt used to keep people on the right accountable but if anything on the left is called out then they completely trash the person reporting. This is becoming an idiocracy.
@josh52785 Says:
What is wrong with people? They seem so unwilling to see the truth or to want the best for our country. They just go with what the media tells them is todays topic. It’s so sad.
