If you were a member back then, THANK YOU and this one is worth a re-listen. We're slowing down production for a little bit to reorganize our production processes, so enjoy this episode from our archives (and before YouTube) where Jay!, Amanda, Deon, and Erin discuss: - How the media focus on the "politics" of an event trivializes the impact that event has on real people - The detrimental effects combining the daily news grind and the prioritization of profits forces has on news coverage - How keeping news coverage light and ignoring the effects of neoliberalism leaves desperate people vulnerable to fascism - The way history is repeating itself when it comes to news media not treating a demagogue's rhetoric as the emergency it is - The difference between symbolic beliefs vs factual beliefs FOLLOW US ON: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/@BestOfTheLeft/">YouTube</a> (This full episode premieres on YouTube on Friday - please share!) <a href= "https://bsky.app/profile/bestoftheleft.bsky.social">Bluesky</a> <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/bestoftheleft/">Instagram</a> <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/BestOfTheLeft/">Facebook</a> <a href= "https://mastodon.social/@bestoftheleft@mstdn.social">Mastadon</a> REFERENCES: <a href= "https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1996/02/why-americans-hate-the-media/305060"> Why Americans Hate the Media</a> - The Atlantic (1996) <a href= "https://theintercept.com/2024/05/25/media-trump-danger-democracy/"> The Media Still Doesn't Grasp the Danger of Trump</a> - The Intercept <a href= "https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/04/22/dont-believe-what-theyre-telling-you-about-misinformation"> Don't Believe What They're Telling You About Misinformation</a> - The New Yorker TAKE ACTION: <a href= "https://www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/comments/1qcfpmw/how_you_can_help_master_list/"> How to Support Minneapolis Communities</a> <a href="https://www.bluestatedefiance.org/ice">In a blue state?
