This week, Noah Berlatsky from the Everything Is Horrible newsletter joins me to discuss CNN's misinformation campaign against Rep. Rashida Tlaib.
You will hear:
- How CNN moved the news cycle focus away from Republican Mark Robinson’s declaration of being a “Black Nazi” to smear Representative Tlaib as anti-semetic after expressing concern for anti-Palestenian bias shown by Michigan’s Attorney General, Dana Nessel, after charges were filed against students at the University of Michigan protesting ongoing war crimes against Palestinian people in Gaza
- How openly lying about antisemitism where none exists is dangerous to all, particularly to progressive Jewish people
- Why the right tends to focus on college campus protests as a way to infiltrate educational institutions in order to squash progressive efforts to fight fascism and anti-democratic policies (such as anti-abortion laws or raising the voting age, etc.)
- And more!
