Mehdi Hasan
British-American journalist and broadcaster who founded Zeteo in 2024 as an independent media platform after departing MSNBC, where he hosted a prime-time show until his contract was not renewed. Hasan built his reputation through a combative, evidence-driven interview style that frequently put politicians and pundits on the defensive, and he remains one of the most prominent progressive voices in English-language media. His reporting and commentary cover US politics, the Israel-Palestine conflict, Islamophobia, and the failures of mainstream media coverage. Zeteo operates as a reader-supported outlet committed to independent journalism.
