The conversation broadens out into a two hour discourse on the history of academic freedom, whether "from the river to the sea" is a productive slogan, and more.

He provides context for the protest, how the risk of community outrage helped the students achieve success, and weighs in on the current wave of university protests and the consequences facing his own students at Fordham today. Naison also just happens to be a terrific storyteller who opens the ep by describing how he ended up in one of the most enduring Chappelle's Show segments and what it was like to have Lana Del Ray in his class.

Episode 366 - A Progressive Vision for a Post-Neoliberal World (w/ Bill Mitchell)

       Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock this episode and our entire premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast          Journalist Zaid Jilani joins Bad Faith to elaborate on his recent controversial criticisms of Matt Taibbi. Are leftists simply angry that they can't control where Taibbi's interests have taken his reporting? Or has Taibbi taken a reactionary approach in response to bad faith attacks from liberals -- and, if so, is he justified? Is the left correct in mourning that, these days, his ample skills are rarely applied to issues that concern the left? Is it fair to accuse him of falling victim to audience capture? Or is Taibbi right that it's important to focus on criticizing liberals because they are, in fact, more dangerous and hold more institutional power than the right?
