The Project Censored Show

First up, cohost Mickey Huff sits down with professor of communications Dr. Steve Macek to talk about Trumps war on epistemic institutions. Dr. Macek shares specific examples of attacks on vital research that leaves millions of Americans without the necessary knowledge to address basic needs such as hunger and thirst. Mickey and Steve also dissect some Déjà Vu News - the where are they now for stories previously uplifted by Project Censored and ignored by corporate media. Such analysis not only tracks trends in corporate media but also highlights the importance of thinking of news less as a fleeting headline but rather as continuously developing stories that require attention on a rolling rather than 24-hour blip basis. Next up, cohost Eleanor Goldfield sits down with researcher and associate director at the Eisenhower Media Network Christian Sorensen to talk about how the military is a tool of corporate capture, how the military industrial complex hurts the working class here at home, media's bedazzling of military life, and how the US empires greed actually in the long term hurts its own hegemonic objectives.

In the first part of the program we welcome back political and legal geographer Dr. Austin Kocher to talk about the immigration news that never makes the news. Dr. Kocher talks about overcrowded and deadly detention centers, the 287g clause that transforms your local law enforcement into ICE officers, the fundamental flaw in the US immigration legal system, and how we shouldn’t think of borders as a matter of what they are, but rather what they do in service of the state. Next up, my cohost Mickey Huff sits down with frequent guest and political analyst Nolan Higdon to dissect some recent news, focusing especially on AI: what can history tell us about the unintelligence of artificial intelligence, how deep fakes are crowbarring the political divide even further and deeper, the corporate capture of the classroom, and more.

This week, were covering two things youll never hear about on corporate media - or if you do, theyll be demonized: whistleblowers, and targeted boycott movements. First up, were joined by a Capital One whistleblower who talks about how the companys internal dealings with Israeli weapons manufacturers chafes against the companys external PR campaign of progressive and diversity politics. The whistleblower outlines the so-called proper channels they attempted to utilize in addressing their concerns, and what organizing work theyre doing now to hold Capital One accountable to not only their clients but to international law. Next up, were joined by two organizers with the Eject Elbit campaign focused on decoupling the Israeli weapons manufacturer from the financial institutions it relies on. Scotty and Liza share the BDS precedent for their work, recent wins, and upcoming goals. They talk about the medias framing of their work, not least of all using and twisting their Jewishness while continuing to silence and obscure Palestinian voices and calls for justice.
