Mehdi Hasan Turns the Tables on New York Post Reporter: ‘How Do You Feel About Taking Money from the Racist Rupert Murdoch?’

(Via Mediaite)

EXCERPT:

HASAN: “You were at one time a media columnist. You should read the Washington Post interview that I did literally when Zeteo was founded. And Jeremy Barr, an excellent reporter, slightly better one than you, he asked me — he asked me that question, and I said no, we haven’t taken any money from foreign governments or foreign citizens. Every investor in Zeteo is an American citizen, has nothing to do with Qatar. So nice try. Better luck next time. (cheers and applause) By the way — by the way — by the way, since we’re all in the spirit of asking questions, how do you feel about taking money from the racist Rupert Murdoch every day?”
