Monday's edition of MSNBC's Ronan Farrow Daily featured criticism of the network's coverage of the conflict in Gaza by one of its own paid contributors, Newsweek's Rula Jebreal.


RULA JEBREAL: "We are biased when it comes to this issue. Look how many (sic) air time Netanyahu and his folks have on air on a daily basis — Andrea Mitchell and others. I never see one Palestinian being interviewed on these same issues..


RONAN FARROW: "I'm going to push back a little on that. We've had Palestinian voices on our air."


JEBREAL: "Maybe for 30 seconds, and then you have 25 minutes for Bibi Netanyahu."


Jebreal then mentioned NBC's decision to pull Ayman Mohyeldin from Gaza, a decision NBC reversed after media critics questioned the move and an ensuing backlash on social media.
