"We're Moderates in a World of Extremism": Owen Jones and Mehdi Hasan Chat Politics | Two Outspoken
Zeteo presents ‘Two Outspoken,’ a twice monthly conversation between broadcaster and Zeteo CEO Mehdi Hasan and political commentator, author, and activist Owen Jones. Mehdi and Owen discuss the news of the week, offer their analysis on American and British politics, and answer questions from Zeteo subscribers.
In this first episode, Mehdi and Owen reminisce about how they met over a decade ago, Owen explains why he recently left the Labour Party, and both discuss the mainstream media's moral inconsistency in covering Israel's genocide in Gaza.
-
Founded by Mehdi Hasan, Zeteo has a strong bias for the truth and an unwavering belief in the media’s responsibility to the public. Unfiltered news, bold opinions.

What a relief! Zeteo is a necessity for our collective mental health. We have been exposed to collective narcissistic gaslighting. The rug has been pulled from underneath us. Zeteo is grounding us back in sanity and normality
Two genuine guys that tell the truth
Mehdi's piece from several years back connecting the Israeli propping up and supporting Hamas in an effort to divide Palestinian politics and expose Israel's disgusting duplicity and hypocrisy was excellent. I've watched his career, always fearless, since then. Bravo. Mr. Jones has courage, too. The UK government makes me want to scream.

Mehdi is nothing but a spokesperson for the democratic parties to keep muslims in the west voting, he always talk about things that don't mean anything when it comes to Palestine, i remember him calling Jeremy Corbyn " Antisemite" because his boss told him to do so during the elections. Mehdi and Owens are both frauds and do nothing speak for palestinian solidarity
Thanks for getting Owen on Zeteo I think he will make an amazing contribution to the cause
