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.

 

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."

Facebook recently announced, "Facebook News," a partnership between the social-media giant 

and established corporate-media outlets, including the New York Times. Does this arrangement 

suggest an enhanced effort to keep independent journalism and nonconforming opinions out of social media?

In observance of Banned-Books Week (Sept 22 - 28) Mickey and his guests discuss 

some of the obstacles placed in the way of Americans' freedom to read and learn, notably conservatives' 

efforts to keep unfavored books out of school libraries, or even to cancel authors' speaking engagements.

Authors John Duffy and Ray Nowosielski are the guests for the hour; to speak about their recent book

The Watchdogs Didn't Bark. The product of years of investigation, it begins with the questions: why were

two of the September 11 hijackers, already in the US and on the FBI terrorist watch list, not apprehended 

long before the attacks took place, and why was no one in the US government held accountable? 

The authors find the answers in a complex web of spy agency rivalries and coverups.

Mickey and Chase spend the hour in conversation with Danny Haiphong, co-author of the new book 

"American Exceptionalism and American Innocence." He explains his assertion that throughout U.S. history, 

"fake news has been the only news disseminated by the rulers of U.S. empire.”
