Exposed: Why Media's Role In Gaza Massac...

OWEN JONES
About this episode

There are two pillars of Western complicity in Israel's massacre of Gaza: one, governments which arm and back Israel; and two, mainstream media outlets which cheer on Israel's onslaught, and which fail to report properly on the scale of the crime currently unfolding.


I'm joined by Adam Johnson, a pre-eminent media critic in the US and co-host of Citations Needed pod, to dissect the media's role. Even if you thought you had no illusions, the examples given by Johnson will shock you.
