Deconstructing Media Propaganda and Framing, from War to the Unhoused

A new book edited by a trio of media scholars tracks the spread of censorship across countries and across the media spectrum. All three co-editors join Mickey to explain their disturbing findings. Then, Mickey and co-host Eleanor Goldfield discuss the widely published story of supposed mass rape by Hamas fighters on October 7, and the New York Times’ refusal, to date, to acknowledge that its story has been debunked. Eleanor also speaks about her recent article on her own experience of lacking housing and how corporate media’s choice of language facilitates discrimination against unsheltered people as an “other.”
