'In this News Brief, we dissect the Orwellian phrase "right to exist," why it only applies to #Israel, what purpose it serves, and why #Palestinians are never said to have such a right.'

Some commentary on an absolutely chilling #NPR interview with a starving Palestinian writer in Gaza. In case one needs more proof that mainstream media is an empty husk devoid of all integrity.

Apparently this book #Owned argues the tech billionaires indirectly bought #GlennGreenwald and #MattTaibbi. Maybe. I do think media ownership always influences the content. And also that creators come to recognize how to shape their content to get popular with different crowds. But #CitationsNeeded always claims that if you're not their version of left on an issue, something bad faith is going on. And none of these folks ever say this all demands media decentralization.

#Episode213: The Shallow, Power-Flattering appeal of high Status #Resistance #Historians

#AnneApplebaum , #TimothySnyder, #RuthBenGhiat , etc. have become liberal-friendly experts on #authoritarianism.

Citations Needed looks at the advent and influence of MSNBC-approved #historians dissecting their SELECTIVE #antiauthoritarian posture and discussing how their work does little more than polish their careers and provide cover for U.S. and U.S.-allied #militarism.

Later on, is guest #GregGrandin (upcoming #book in April 2025)
