Mehdi Calls Out How The Media Is Biased... Against The Left
Since being named CBS News’s Editor in Chief in October, Bari Weiss has turned the network into a soft-MAGA mouthpiece – just take a look at its latest roster of contributors, which is a who’s who of at best, centrist pundits, and at worst, right-wing hacks.
While it’s easy to dunk on Bari Weiss, CBS’s rightward shift is indicative of a larger problem in our media ecosystem: across so-called “liberal” media, there’s long been a glaring absence of proper progressive and leftist voices.
In his latest scathing monologue, Mehdi breaks down the progressive-shaped hole in our mainstream corporate-controlled media and makes the case for why supporting independent journalism now is more important than ever.
