@ProjectCensored They think they'll just replace us with AI. While we protest, they consolidate power. A general strike? That scares them.

New dispatch:

Mischa Geracoulis examines how media coverage of the 1984 Bernie Goetz shooting normalized victim reversal, presenting a man who shot four Black teenagers as a hero while portraying his victims as threats.

Drawing on Heather Ann Thompson’s book "Fear and Fury", the piece connects Reagan-era media narratives to today’s reactionary politics, aggressive policing, anti-immigrant crackdowns, and militarized war coverage.

The seven richest billionaires in the world? All media barons. Bezos owns the Washington Post & Musk owns X. The Ellisons are taking over CNN - they don't need the public’s approval. They just need us distracted.

Israel killed hundreds of journalists. But the corporate media didn't cover it. Young people saw it on TikTok - so a billionaire bought it. Not to improve it. To control what you see.

“You don't really hear about the fact that there should be boundaries to suffering in the news.”

Afeef Nessouli/@AfeefNess explains how Western media’s coverage of Israel’s attacks in Lebanon reflect a racialized framing that treat violence in the country as normal, downplaying civilian suffering and obscuring both its illegality and the lived reality of those enduring it.

[Project Censored @ProjectCensored]

Journalist Afeef Nessouli/ @AfeefNess joins the show to talk about the situation in Lebanon, and how corporate media deliberately flattens and dehumanizes in service of US-Israeli regional goals.

NOW AVAILABLE FROM THE CENSORED PRESS: The Judgment of Gender by Allison Butler.

This new book explores how women are often centered yet simultaneously silenced in popular culture—and frequently maligned for simply being women. Grounded in critical media literacy, it examines how media narratives frame women who speak out, challenge norms, or enter spaces traditionally denied to them, featuring case studies from Anita Hill and Christine Blasey Ford to Sinéad O’Connor, Britney Spears, and Monica Lewinsky.
