Residents resist a pipeline project / Challenging adult supremacy Project Censored – August 25, 2023

Eleanor Goldfield hosts this week’s Project Censored Show.

In the first segment, Crystal Mello provides an update on the Mountain Valley Pipeline, a project that once appeared stalled by opposition, but was revived by Congress. It would deliver fracked natural gas from West Virginia into Virginia. Crystal Mello says the pipeline’s construction has disrupted local water supplies, and brought numerous other ill effects. She also says local media are spreading false information about the project.

Later in the program, Carla Joy Bergman explains the concept of “adult supremacy,” pointing out that society still sanctions age discrimination against its youngest members. She proposes instead recognition and respect for children’s’ autonomy, especially in schools.

The News That Didn’t Make the News. Each week, co-hosts Mickey Huff and Peter Phillips conduct in depth interviews with their guests and offer hard hitting commentary on the key political, social, and economic issues of the day with an emphasis on critical media literacy.
