In this episode of The Disinfo Detox, we break down the volatile realities of modern press freedom, propaganda, and the systemic mechanics driving institutional complicity in international conflicts. Nolan Higdon sits down with Adam Johnson, author of How to Sell a Genocide: The Media's Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza (Pluto Press), to dissect the media narratives, systemic censorship, and systemic framing that form the backbone of wartime propaganda.
For decades, the public has relied on traditional news pipelines to make sense of global politics, but today's media landscapes face unprecedented institutional failures and ideological alignment with state violence. Adam joins Nolan to look past the surface-level headlines to examine the real-world impact of these deceptive tactics. We analyze the weaponization of language by mainstream outlets, the escalation of targeted narrative suppression, and the critical media literacy tools needed to pierce through wartime propaganda. This episode pulls back the curtain on how media complicity enables atrocities, and the practical steps citizens can take to support independent journalism and fight back.

In this episode of The Disinfo Detox, we break down the volatile realities of modern press freedom, authoritarian politics, and the systemic mechanics driving institutional crackdowns. Nolan Higdon sits down with Adam Rose of the Freedom of the Press Foundation to dissect the bans, censorship, and aggressive lawsuits that form the backbone of Trump's media muzzle strategy in his second term.
For decades, the public has relied on traditional news pipelines to make sense of political power, but today's media landscapes face unprecedented state-level interference and legal intimidation. Adam joins Nolan to look past the surface-level headlines to examine the real-world impact of these restrictive tactics. We analyze the weaponization of legal systems against journalists, the escalation of targeted press bans, and the critical media literacy tools needed to defend a free press against authoritarian overreach. This episode pulls back the curtain on how media muzzle strategies threaten democratic accountability in the U.S., and the practical steps citizens can take to support independent journalism and fight back.

In this episode of The Disinfo Detox, we break down the volatile realities of modern geopolitics, media failure, and the covert mechanics driving global conflict. In a special joint broadcast with the Media & Democracy Program, Nolan Higdon sits down with host Spencer Graves to dissect how mainstream news organizations misdirect the public when covering systemic power, the limits of corporate media censorship, and the democratic tools needed to fight back.
For decades, the public has relied on traditional news pipelines to make sense of international relations, but today's media landscapes often reduce complex global scandals to superficial headlines while ignoring deeper structural collusion. Spencer joins Nolan to look past the surface-level narratives. We examine critical media literacy as an essential line of defense against authoritarianism, the concentration of corporate media ownership, and strategies for building civic resistance in a digitized ecosystem. This episode pulls back the curtain on why mainstream outlets fail to convince the public of political deception, the lack of institutional accountability in the U.S., and the practical steps citizens can take to dismantle propaganda networks.

In this special joint episode between Just Ask The Question and The Disinfo Detox, Brian Karem and Nolan Higdon team up for a hard-hitting breakdown of the most critical headlines dominating national politics.
The duo tackles Donald Trump’s aggressive threats to ban news organizations from the White House and analyzes what this means for the future of the First Amendment and a free press. Later, the conversation shifts to domestic political stability as they examine Mitch McConnell’s mental state and public absence, JD Vance’s political maneuvers, and why critical media literacy has never been more essential for navigating modern propaganda.

Joining Nolan Higdon is investigative reporter Brian Joseph to dissect how mainstream news organizations misdirect the public when covering municipal corruption, the limits of corporate media censorship, and the dark networks sustaining institutional abuse.

We examine the pervasive realities of sex trafficking and pimping in Las Vegas, the embedded corruption within local law enforcement and casino operations, and the blackouts enforced by local newsrooms. This episode pulls back the curtain on why mainstream outlets fail to convince the public of political deception, the lack of institutional accountability in the U.S., and the corporate pressures that silence reporting on organized exploitation.

In this episode of The Disinfo Detox, we break down the volatile realities of modern geopolitics, media failure, and the covert mechanics driving global conflict. Joining Nolan Higdon is Mickey Huff—Director of Project Censored and Professor at Ithaca College—to dissect how mainstream news organizations misdirect the public when covering historical trauma, the limits of corporate media censorship, and the persistent narratives shaping post-9/11 foreign policy.
For decades, the public has relied on traditional news pipelines to make sense of international relations, but today's media landscapes often reduce complex global scandals to superficial headlines while ignoring deeper structural collusion. Mickey joins Nolan to look past the surface-level narratives. We examine the historic amnesia surrounding the 25th anniversary of September 11th, the systematic manufacturing of war propaganda, and the ongoing suppression of dissenting perspectives. This episode pulls back the curtain on why mainstream outlets fail to convince the public of political deception, the lack of institutional accountability in the U.S., and the enduring impact of state-approved history on civil liberties today.
