MSNBC hosts call out 'painful' interviews by BBC and 60 Minutes reporters unprepared to fight against lies
Raw StoryMSNBC's Mehdi Hasan thinks the so-called "liberal media" has learned nothing from former PresidentDonald Trump's non-stop lies. Sunday evening, the BBC had 20 minutes to prepare for an interview with Elon Musk, and the MSNBC reporters explained that the interviewer shouldn't have done it if he wasn't prepared. A few weeks ago, Lesley Stahl was similarly criticized for being unwilling to fight back against lies told by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene during her "60 Minutes" interview. "But it is so disheartening to your point, when you see far-right extremists like Greene disingenuous actors like Musk platformed and normalized on major news organizations like CBS and the BBC, without any serious or meaningful pushback to expose them for how harmful they are to free speech and democracy," continued Mohyeldin.
