In this News Brief, "Very Serious New Yorker Article Launders Biden Officials' Responsibility for Gaza Genocide," we are joined by Kaleem Hawa to discuss David K Kirkpatrick's 10,000 word PR job that feigns criticism of Biden officials, but ultimately serves to distance them from the horrors of Gaza

Yes the obvious differences (power, moral, etc) are addressed in the piece

Centrists in Congress (anonymously) threatening to leave this Democratic Party. James Carville calling for a schism. Top Dems refusing to endorse Dem primary winners. Pouty (also anonymous) pro-Israel donors in MI calling for a donor strike—I wrote about the emerging centrist Uncommitted Movement.

There's a whole book about this that I can't recommend highly enough.

The broadcast networks are effectively colluding with the fossil fuel industry. By @ahjohnson.bsky.social. www.columnblog.com/p/abc-nbc-cb...

@ahjohnson.bsky.social been on this for a while and I too lose my fucking mind when the media talks about these extreme weather events like they came out of nowhere and have no known cause www.columnblog.com/p/abc-nbc-cb...

NEW: I spoke to @ahjohnson.bsky.social to discuss his new book 'How to Sell a Genocide' (which was part of my Substack's book club). The evidence presented in this book is overwhelming. I can think of no better source to understand the media's complicity. lthomas.substack.com/p/how-to-sel...

In this News Brief, "Why US Media Has Evoked Israel's "Right to Exist" 1,001 Times vs Only 6 For Palestine," we examine the Orwellian phrase "right to exist," why it only applies to Israel, what role it serves, and why Palestinians are never said to have such a right.

next month (tue 8/11). it will be an honor to have @ahjohnson.bsky.social at the library talking about an extremely important subject, how the US mainstream media whitewashes genocide and dehumanizes its victims. register now.

In Ep 240, "How the Media's 'Burden,' 'Straining Resources' Framing Manufactures the Expendable Other," we discuss the ideological work done by our media's default frame of immigrants, poor seniors, those with disabilities etc as "burdens" on the all mighty Taxpayer

In this News Brief, "Despite 9-Figure Infusion from Silicon Valley, Abundance Still Seeks Popular Support," we talk to @dylangyauchl.bsky.social about her recent report on the obscene amounts of money going into pushing Abundance and the PR hurdles the latest neoliberalism rebrand is facing.

Je n'ai pas lu «How to sell a genocide», mais je lis @ahjohnson.bsky.social depuis longtemps et c'est un très bon critique des médias des É-U. Je suis convaincu que son livre est excellent. Entrevue d'une heure ici: Liberal Media Helped Destroy Gaza (avril 2026) www.youtube.com/watch?v=WA-y...

No mention of pro-Israel and corporate funding, no mention of capitalist ideology—just ‘good-faith’ worry over what will play in Purple America. - by @ahjohnson.bsky.social

In this News Brief, we talk with Emmaia Gelman, author of the new book The Anti-Defamation League and the Racial State, about how––despite posing as a civil rights organization––the ADL functions as defender of colonialism and enforcer for reactionary western ideologies.

New @therealnews.com: I sit down with Dr. @thrasherxy.bsky.social to talk about Black cops, Latino ICE agents, and the Overseer Class. youtu.be/AYnVXyG9I-A?...

Please join me in supporting this Legal Defense Fund for MN Anti-ICE Organizers! Just like in Chicago, the DOJ is trying to make examples of people who LEGALLY resisted this administration’s reign of terror. (See their story.) Let’s fight back!! chuffed.org/project/1865...

In Ep 239, "The Vague, Capital-Serving Co-Optation of 'Affordability' Politics," we detail the history of generic "affordability" discourse and how, post-Mamdani, it's become the go-to buzzword justifying deregulation, tax breaks for developers and minor tweaks to our for profit healthcare system.

thank you!

Now that I'm posting regularly I want to give a shout out to @ahjohnson.bsky.social & his excellent book "How to Sell a Genocide". Its infuriating to think about all those early episodes of bullshit again but its so important and his methodology is top notch. www.plutobooks.com/product/how-...
