Mehdi Calls Out Sky News For Letting Guests Lie On Air

There are certain things you can't say as a broadcaster.I get that.But if you take the Henry Nowak story, for example, horrific story, what happened to him shouldn't have happened.And I hope there's investigation.I hope there's accountability, especially the police side of things.But for example, allowing the right to turn that into an immigration story when the guy who killed him was born in the UK, his father was born in the UK.

I don't think that's fair though.Which mainstream media organisation has allowed that to be the case?Everyone's pushed back and focused on the facts really, really quite carefully.

No, I think it has very much become a debate about immigration.I was just on Newsnight last night.We were talking about the horrific tragedy in Belfast and that story comes up.I think it's a real problem where when one side is just lying about what is going on.So, for example, do you use the word lie?

Yeah.

You do?

You say to guests you're lying?Well, no, because it doesn't happen very often, but we absolutely...

It doesn't happen very often?Guests don't come on Sky and Lie very often.

No, but look, I'm sorry.I think viewers would disagree.
