  • lame

    interesting that the most recent review is over a year old, and the rest are 2-4 years okd. i can only assume someone in charge of the show is removing the more-recent reviews and they're doing so because these reviews are critical of the tone deaf leftist garbage this show espouses.

    Has the host had a stroke or suffers from dysphonia? Impossible to listen to without being distracted.

  • Encourages naive views of Israel Occupation

    The guest was allowed to drone on with zero ability to understand why 10/7 happened from a resistance pov and why it involved violence. It wasn’t a time to play nice. Doesn’t seem to have any clue about the last 75 years. Arrogant and unlistenable while also performing heroics of feeling enlightened.

    Liberal Zionism is just as bad as right wing Netanyahu Likud party Zionism. Listen to Norman Finkelstein, Jewish Voice for Peace, Not in My Name.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Media Watchdog Project Censored Turns 50 Years Old! w/ Misch Geracoulis
Q: What are the challenges in teaching critical media literacy to non-academic audiences, and how are you addressing them?

Media Watchdog Project Censored Turns 50 Years Old! w/ Misch Geracoulis
Q: Maybe you can explain media democracy in action and how it fits into the broader goals of Project Censored.
Mischa explains that media democracy emphasizes public service, ethics, and the right to information, with yearbook chapters and examples showing how independent journalism provides diverse perspectives and accountability to strengthen democracy.
Media Watchdog Project Censored Turns 50 Years Old! w/ Misch Geracoulis
Q: So first, I guess we have to talk about this. It's the 50th anniversary of Project Censored. Tell us about how exciting that is for everyone involved with this important news project.
Mischa describes the milestone as a moment of validation and reflection, highlighting the organization's history, the Izzy Awards, publishing initiatives, and ongoing conferences that celebrate press freedom and critical media literacy.
The Complicit Lens: US Media Coverage of Israel’s Genocide in Gaza w/ Robin Andersen
Q: What role did on-the-ground journalists and first responders play, and how were they portrayed by Western media?
Palestinian journalists and first responders provided crucial, often dangerous on-the-ground reporting that contradicted official narratives, yet Western media frequently marginalized or discredited them, contributing to a skewed, sensationalized portrayal of events.
The Complicit Lens: US Media Coverage of Israel’s Genocide in Gaza w/ Robin Andersen
Q: Can you explain how the Gaza Genocide Syndrome frames U.S. media coverage of the Israel-Gaza conflict?
The frame treats Israel's actions as the driving force, often labeling Palestinians as insurgent or lawless, while sidelining historical context and Palestinian casualties, which helps normalize a harsher policy stance and obscures the complexities of occupation and resistance under international law.
