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

this @citationspod.bsky.social episode from 2020 is great deep dive into how popular country music became what it is today and why there is now a song called “Fish Hunt Golf Drink”. citationsneeded.medium.com/episode-119-...

I can’t not recommend this podcast enough.

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.

Send this to everyone who lets the wealthy elite frame budgeting arguments. Never accept that we can’t help regular people have a better life. Always ask what’s possible if we don’t spend a trillion dollars on military, $250 billion on police, courts, and jails, and offer tax cuts to the rich.

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.

I’m a little backed up with books but this one about the patently evil and exploitive ADL sounds amazing

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.

With guest, friend of the pod @lukewsavage.bsky.social!

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.

In this Patreon-only News Brief, we break down the popular media trope that Democrats are "divided" over Israel when, in reality, its now a 80-20 issue in favor of Palestine, and—to the extent there are divisions—it's almost entirely between rank and file Dem voters and pro-Israel Dem leadership.

And finally, this News Brief, "'Peak TV,' Streamer Studio Accounting Gimmicks, and the Precarity of Hollywood Labor," in which we interview authors Miranda Banks and @kfortmueller.bsky.social about the state of Hollywood labor in the streaming era. soundcloud.com/citationsnee...

Or Episode 238: "The Fictional, Racist, Paranoia-Sowing "Sleeper Cell" Media Construction," in which we dissect the "sleeper cell" trope that has consumed post-9/11 US news media and pop culture despite the fact that there's no evidence to support it. soundcloud.com/citationsnee...

Hi, all! We'll be taking a short spring break and returning later this month. In the meantime, in case you missed them, check out some of our recent releases, like this News Brief about the Writers Against the War on Gaza's campaign to boycott the NYT: soundcloud.com/citationsnee...

New episode! @ahjohnson.bsky.social of the @citationspod.bsky.social podcast joined us to discuss his book, "How to Sell a Genocide: The Media's Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza." This is a heavy one, but understanding how media narratives enable horrendous violence is absolutely essential

So thrilled that the authors of BOOM TO BUST: HOW STREAMING BROKE HOLLYWOOD WORKERS were part of this lively conversation, about movie industry labor woes, on the Citations Needed podcast (@citationspod.bsky.social). citationsneeded.libsyn.com/news-brief-p...

great episode of CN where they go over some key points from Adam’s new book How to Sell a Genocide: The Media's Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza that I can’t wait to read!! Got my order in for it!

In Ep 238, "The Fictional, Racist, Paranoia-Sowing 'Sleeper Cell' Media Construction," we detail our media obsession with so-called "sleeper cells," a trope that has consumed post-9/11 America but suffers from one major problem: there's no evidence it exists.
