Watch Mehdi Get Grilled By Broadcaster Sangita Myska

To kick off Zeteo’s “Bold and Unfiltered” 1-Year Anniversary Tour, we thought it might be fun to turn the tables on Mehdi.How well would he do in the hot seat? How does the tough interviewer fare when he’s the interviewee? And what brave soul is ready to challenge the man who usually does the challenging?

That would be award-winning British journalist and presenter, Sangita Myska. Sangita is a long-standing radio host who made headlines last year when she abruptly left her post with British broadcaster LBC shortly after a challenging interview she did with an Israeli government spokesperson.

“I did learn and read everything I can about this man [Mehdi],” Sangita told the live audience in London. “And what I discovered was, even the people that hate Mehdi Hasan… Even those people agree that he is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the very best political interviewers of our generation.”

She then proceeded to put Mehdi through his paces – including a pretty intense rapid-fire section.

“You are very much part of the media elites, aren’t you?”

“How can you possibly call yourself a credible organization if you do not remain impartial?”

Sangita kept the challenging questions coming across the course of the night, even asking Mehdi about his early life, his time interning under (then magazine editor and later UK Prime Minister) Boris Johnson (yes, that happened), Zeteo and its future, and so much more.
