Full Hour | In today’s third hour, Dom leads off the Dom Giordano Program by revealing a stunning effort by Pennsylvania lawmakers to further fund state colleges and universities due to food insecurity. Dom and Dan are infuriated by the move, making the point as to why they believe the colleges and universities themselves, and their inflated budgets, should be responsible for covering those who can’t feed themselves.
Then, Dom welcomes back David Zweig, a columnist who’s been featured in The Atlantic, New York Magazine, Wired, and New York Times. Yesterday, Dom and producer Dan spoke lengthily about a series of Tweets sent by Zweig questioning the rhetoric centered on Coronavirus and the vaccine. Repeatedly, Zweig shows, the New York Times has referred to anybody who questions the vaccination and peripheral edicts as ‘anti-vax,’ painting the person with an inaccurate broad brush. Zweig explains the importance of skepticism, particularly in the world of science, and explains why this rhetoric, particularly from one of the country’s biggest newspapers, is damaging in the grand scheme of Coronavirus discussion.
