“Today’s episode analyses an article from Disability Scoop, arguing that it subtly promotes a far-right agenda by downplaying the negative consequences of dismantling the U.S. Department of Education. Dr. Jaime Hoerricks contends that the article’s framing aligns with neocolonial, neoliberal, and neoconservative ideologies, which prioritise deregulation and privatisation (aka, wealth transfer), ultimately harming marginalised groups. Using Argentina as a case study, Dr. Hoerricks demonstrates how these policies exacerbate inequality. The episode concludes with a call for media literacy, urging readers to critically evaluate news sources and amplify voices advocating for disability justice. Finally, Dr. Hoerricks highlights the dangers of propaganda disguised as neutral reporting, particularly during times of political transition.”
