Rolling Stone writer Matt Taibbi is the first guest on this week’s show; his new book, “Hate, Inc.” explains how today’s corporate media, especially television, profits by pitting Americans against one another and is more like a WWE match then actual journalism.
Then independent journalist Abby Martin returns to the program; on this segment, she describes the making of her new documentary, “Gaza Fights For Freedom,” and the distortions and omission in US media coverage of Palestine.
Notes:
Matt Taibbi’s previous books include “Insane Clown President” and “Griftopia.” He is also co-host of the Rolling Stone podcast “Useful Idiots” which can be seen at https://www.rollingstone.com/t/useful-idiots/.
Abby Martin wrote the foreword for Censored 2019: Fighting the Fake News Invasion, and she just finished editing and narrating the new documentary from Project Censored about fake news.
