Consistency is an important principle for journalism. And Mehdi has little of it. He made his mark as someone attacking other faiths to defend his own. This is a weak tactic.

While it endeared him to a conformist South Asian elite, it showed that attacking prejudice with prejudice is counterproductive.

Basically, a courageous War veteran like Rep Gabbard makes such weak characters like Mehdi very insecure. Both his existing employers have an ax to grind with Tulsi.

His Qatari employers were actively fueling Ikhwan/Al Qaeda terrorists in Syria while the Intercept was also regurgitating State Department talking points when it came to Syria.

Now that Mehdi’s sectarian narrative against Syria is falling apart, he will be questioned and confronted on his hack jobs against anti-establishment voices like Congresswoman Gabbard.
