Episode Details

It’s the 50th anniversary of Project Censored, so we had another great discussion w/ its director Mickey Huff of Project about the history of muckraking and how it evolved into the corporate media we have today. We also discussed evolution of media in the Vietnam, Watergate eras and after toward a more complicit approach with government which has led us to the current moment of Trump’s threats and intimidation of the media. Finally , we talked about the importance of independent media and investigative journalism.
