YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWelcome back to another episode of 'Ask the Editor,' our live Q&A series where Zeteo subscribers ask, and Mehdi Hasan answers.
The new editor-in-chief of CBS News? Bari Weiss – whose résumé includes launching the conservative, ultra-Zionist outlet The Free Press. “She is uniquely unqualified to do this job,” Mehdi says, “Other than that she’s super pro-Israel.” Weiss is set to lead CBS News under Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison, son of pro-Israel billionaire Larry Ellison – who’s reportedly buying TikTok.

Prem and Mehdi also unpack Van Jones’ joke made Friday on Bill Maher’s show in which he seemingly dismissed images coming out of Gaza as Qatari-Iranian TikTok propaganda. Mehdi argued that, as horrific as the joke was, it was, in part, “laying the groundwork to justify their complete censorship and bias on TikTok that is inevitably heading our way.”
Meanwhile, censorship is escalating in the UK, as Keir Starmer’s government arrests pro-Palestine protesters in the hundreds. “Democracies are tearing up their own civil liberties, their own basic rights, their own constitutions… for the sake of a foreign country, Israel. That is insane.”
Watch the full video above to hear Mehdi and Prem’s unfiltered thoughts on whether Donald Trump’s negotiations between Hamas and Israel will work, and if Benjamin Netanyahu has twisted the plan to his advantage. They also call out Israel’s abusive detention of Greta Thunberg and her fellow Gaza aid flotilla activists.
Note: There will not be an episode of ‘Ask the Editor’ next Monday October 13th due to the US federal holiday.
