![]() ![]() One of the examples Hasan cites in his book to explain why the right is better at winning arguments than the left is the right's mastery of debating techniques like Gish Gallop. Talking about his motivations for writing the book, Hasan, now a presenter on MSNBC, said that the right is generally better at winning arguments than the left and hoped that his book will arm left-wing commentators and create a level playing field. Hasan's frustration over the fact-free manner of Fox News' coverage of American politics, which he expressed during conversations, is as relevant to British media's coverage of alleged anti-Semitism in Labour. ![]() During his recent visit to the UK, Hasan appeared on several shows and podcasts where he spoke about failures in contemporary journalism and the dangers of groupthink. Hasan draws on his experience as a journalist and broadcaster, as well as his background in debating and public speaking, to provide useful tips and insights. ' Win Every Argument' is an excellent book. Predictably, there has been near complete silence from the same British media to Forde's recent revelations which debunked many of the narratives that are thought to have played a major role in bringing down the former Labour leader. Though there is no apparent connection between the two, I was struck by the overlap between Hasan's criticism of the media on both sides of the Atlantic and the frenzied way in which the British mainstream media covered allegations of anti-Semitism during the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn. I've also been listening to British-American broadcaster Mehdi Hasan discuss his new book, Win Every Argument: The Art of Debating, Persuading and Public Speaking. I've been watching the fallout from KC Martin Forde's first public interview since the release of his report examining the handling of anti-Semitism complaints within the UK Labour Party.
