For your wonderful conversation with Michael Palin
Mishal is the worst kind of tilted journalist. She arrives with a holier-than-thou agenda and dismisses basic facts and logic which do not fit her radical world view.
Mishal steps back from the day to day noise and looks at the underlying trends which are driving events. She’s a wonderful interviewer, well informed but not overpowering. Highly recommended.
Fails to put the really hard questions to guests. Tucker Carlson has been awarded antisemite of the year by US civil rights groups and has consorted with far right activist Nick Fuentes who has raged against Jewish control in US politics. Any good journalist would ask Carlson about this and about his view of Jews but not Husain.
Well done at getting two of the strongest personalities on Leave and Remain together (why didn’t the BBC do this?) Alistair won and Mishal just about controlled them, not easy!
