Media Winners & Losers

MEDIA WINNER:
TalkTV's Piers Morgan

Piers Morgan got a top Qatari official to admit that there are 400-500 worker deaths related to the preparation of the World Cup.

During an interview with Hassan al-Thawadi, the secretary-general of Qatar’s Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy, Morgan pointed to a 2021 report from The Guardian, whichhighlighted 6,500 migrant deaths in Qatar since the country was chosen to host the World Cup.

Morgan made sure to clarify that not all of the reported deaths were related to the World Cup, as the number includes all migrant deaths in 2021, and labeled the figure “deeply misleading."

He then used the statistic to ask exactly how many deaths could be traced back to Qatar's preparation for the World Cup, subsequently getting al-Thawadi to say that 400 to 500 deaths were related to the massive sporting event -- not just the 40 that have been officially recognized.

Morgan noted 400 is likely a “price too big to pay” for many people when it comes to a sporting event, to which the World Cup chief admitted, “one death is a death too many."

“I think overall the need for labor reform in itself dictates that, yes, improvements had to happen," Al-Thawadi conceded.

Morgan not only landed a solid interview with a World Cup official, but also managed to press him on seriously hot topics. 

The reporter successfully got al-Thawadi to admit to dismal working conditions and human rights practices amid a particularly controversial year for the games.

MEDIA LOSER:
Fox News' Jason Chaffetz

Fox News co-host Jason Chaffetz has deemed former President Donald Trump's dinner with a white nationalist and anti-Semite unremarkable and unworthy of all the headlines.

While on Tuesday's Outnumbered, Chaffetz raged at reporters for asking House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) aboutTrump's Mar-a-Lago dinner with rapper Kanye West and famed white supremacist Nick Fuentes.

Standing outside the White House on Tuesday, following a meeting between congressional leaders and President Joe Biden, McCarthy was asked numerous times about Trump’s meeting with West.

While answering questions, McCarthy condemned both Fuentes and West, who has recently made a string of anti-Semitic remarks.

Following the press conference, Chaffetz lamented that reporters asked multiple questions about the fact that Trump -- a confirmed 2024 presidential candidate -- attended a dinner with such figures.

“That is so irresponsible! Before they talked about the rail strike, before they talked about the border, before they did all this, they got to talk about Donald Trump,” said Chaffetz. “This is why we hate the national media!”

Seems obvious, but asking about such a controversial meeting -- one that shines a light on stark divisions within the GOP -- seems like fair game while addressing a top leader of that party.

Chaffetz also made the complaint on Fox News, which, unlike essentially every other news source, has almost entirely ignored the story.
