Ex-MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan faces off against conservative Piers Morgan over Fox News bias

Conservative pundit Piers Morgan, who recently told Bill Maher that he doesn't "respect" Donald Trump's recent reversal on abortion, faced off Saturday against his ex-MSNBC counterpart, Mehdi Hasan.

Hasan, who left MSNBC for The Guardian after his show on the network was cancelled, started off by suggesting the "News" be left off of Fox.

"When I was at MSNBC, I refused to refer to it as Fox News, only as Fox," he said. "It doesn't deserve the 'News' label. Let's not kid ourselves or help normalize a far-right propaganda outlet."

Morgan shot back, saying, "Mehdi, the idea that Fox is any more/less partisan than MSNBC is laughable."

But Hasan was not done. He struck back, saying, "I get that you work for Murdoch, Piers, so you have to say this, but we all saw the evidence in the Dominion case & we all saw Murdoch desperately settle."

"There's been nothing like Dominion for any other media network in the Western world, liberal or conservative," he added. "So nice try."

Just last year, Morgan said the following of Rupert Murdoch:

"Rupert Murdoch has been a bold, brilliant, visionary leader whose audacity & tenacity built a magnificently successful global media empire. It’s been a privilege to work for him on and off for the past 30 years, and an ongoing masterclass in journalism & business. Thanks Boss!"
