59:58

In this special fund drive episode of Project Censored , Mickey Huff and guests discuss the growing trend toward book bans in U.S. schools, as well as the Trump Administration’s attempts to suppress public access to the records of federal agencies. First, we hear about a soon-to-be-released documentary titled Banned Together (www.bannedtogetherdoc.com) that looks at efforts by local school boards, or state-level politicians, to restrict students’ access to books. Next, two press-freedom advocates warn that the Trump Administration is engaged in unprecedented, and possibly illegal, efforts to reshuffle how federal agencies’ records are kept. Allyson Rice and Dorri Scott are members of the team that created Banned Together.

39:52

Mickey Huff and Eleanor Goldfield co-host this week’s Project Censored Show. In the first half of the program, Palestinian legal expert Hassan Ben Imran speaks with Eleanor about the continuing international-law case against Israel. He also expresses his concern that the Trump administration may surpass previous US administrations’ defiance of rulings that go against the U.S., by actively attempting to defund and disempower agencies like the International Criminal Court. In the second half, Mickey Huff joins Eleanor for a discussion of recent news and news coverage, most notably major U.S. media’s reluctance to cite estimates of the true death toll in Gaza or to tally the U.S. tax dollars that went to fund the genocide. Hassan Ben Imran is a member of the Governing Council of Law for Palestine and a PhD researcher in Law at the University of Galway, Ireland.

59:58

In the first half of the program, Eleanor Goldfield interviews a Native American reporter who was arrested while covering a protest about land claims, despite showing the police his press credentials. Isaac White is a Mohawk journalist based in Akwesasne, upstate New York. His story highlights the importance of and dangers to local and Indigenous media. Then Mickey Huff speaks with John Collins , the founder of the independent journalism site weavenews.org, about the responsibilities of the non-corporate press in the years ahead, as the biases and failures of corporate media become increasingly evident. Collins is a professor emeritus of global studies at St. Lawrence University. He explains that journalism is too important to be left to the powers that be and what we need right now more than ever is news of, for, and by the people. John also talks about his books and years of work on Palestine and how Palestine is in fact not only an issue unto itself but also a lens for examining colonialism, capitalism, media, the politics of representation, and more.

Don’t Get Distracted: Bitter Economic Pills and Threats to Free Press Hit Everyone 59:58

il y a 13 weeks59:58

59:58

In the first part of the program, economist Dr. Richard Wolff joins co-host Eleanor Goldfield to set the record straight on what tariffs really are and how bizarrely hypocritical it is that the famously anti-tax republican party is now the party that wants a lot of taxes — taxes aimed at you and me. Professor Wolff also explains the wrong-headed thinking about immigration: in fact, steady immigration into the U.S. is and has been a sign of a healthy economy, so the fact that the nation can’t and won’t embrace immigration today is actually a big red flag that our economy is weak — as further evidenced by how well the BRICS nations are doing compared to the G7. In the second half, co-host Mickey Huff speaks with journalists Maya Schenwar and Negin Owliaei about how media must NOT back down to Trump’s threats against press freedom. Maya and Negin outline the multi pronged attacks that journalists and media organizations are facing, remarking that none of us alone can surmount these problems but that real active solidarity and community building is key — along with contextualizing our today in the struggles of yesterday and NEVER complying in advance The post Don’t Get Distracted: Bitter Economic Pills and Threats to Free Press Hit Everyone appeared first on KPFA .…

Lessons from the LA fires / Surveillance of Student Protesters: The Case of Yale 59:58

il y a 14 weeks59:58

59:58

In the first half of today’s show, co-host Eleanor Goldfield speaks with Leyna Quinn-Davidson , the Fire Network Director for the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources about the confluence of issues that are quite literally fueling the fires in LA County. Leyna highlights how we have to shift our thinking about not only how fires burn but their historic and vital role in bolstering healthy ecosystems. She also pinpoints some simple actions people in the area can take to protect their homes and, perhaps more important, their communities, since what your neighbor does or doesn’t do in these situations will directly affect you. In the second half, experienced conflict correspondent Theia Chatelle joins the program to talk about suing Yale PD, a frustrating but enlightening process that uncovered a vast and deep web of surveillance and repressive tactics aimed at students engaging in constitutionally protected speech and protest. Theia discusses the frightening levels of coordination between campus police, local and federal law enforcement, Zionist organizations, and even counter-terrorism agencies. She connects this to a larger pattern of repression across U.S. colleges, universities, and towns and cities beyond campus borders, where the panopticon-style surveillance follows anyone and everyone who could be deemed a threat to the status quo.

Pressing Issues for 2025: Trump 2.0, Media Failures, and the Fight for Press Freedom 59:59

il y a 15 weeks59:59

59:59

This week, we swing into the new year (2025), with Mickey engaging media scholar Nolan Higdon. They discuss the incoming administration, Trump 2.0, the failures of the punditocracy, and what might mean for press freedom in his second term; social media and an end to so-called fact-checking; and why we will continue to need a truly independent press to keep us informed moving forward. Later in the program, media scholar Steve Macek joins the conversation, and it’s Deja Vu all over again as they revisit previously censored news stories around significant current events (including in Gaza) and how the ongoing lack of establishment media coverage around key issues contributes to low information voters and allows myriad injustices to persist at home and around the globe. Nolan Higdon is a lecturer in Education at the University of California Santa Cruz campus, a prolific author on media issues, and a frequent guest on the Project Censored Show. His books include The Anatomy of Fake News ; he also writes on Substack. Steve Macek teaches communications and media studies at North Central College in Illinois. He’s also the co-coordinator of Project Censored’s Campus Affiliates Program. The post Pressing Issues for 2025: Trump 2.0, Media Failures, and the Fight for Press Freedom appeared first on KPFA .…

She describes daily life under Israeli invasion and genocide, Israel’s targeting of reporters for assassination, and the challenges of living the story she covers.

We begin 2025 on an optimistic note, with a timeless speech by the legendary political activist and consumer-rights advocate Ralph Nader . Nader outlines some of the most critical problems facing Americans, including exorbitant military spending, out-of-control corporations, and thousands of annual deaths in the workplace, or from lack of health-care coverage. But then he names some individuals who’ve made a difference in recent U.S. history, explains what students can accomplish on campus, and how voters can hold legislators accountable.

Project Censored’s new yearbook, “State of the Free Press 2025” is fresh off the presses. In the first segment, Andy Lee Roth and Shealeigh Voitl talk with Mickey about the extensive process that culminates in the selection of the annual “Top 25” censored stories. They also speak about the need to extend media analysis beyond fact-checking to “frame-checking.” In the second half, Mickey and co-host Eleanor Goldfield speak about Eleanor’s new article on media literacy for activists, including various ideas on how activists can successfully interact with the different categories of media. Mickey and Eleanor also alert listeners to the dangers of House Bill 9495, a measure that would empower the U.S. Treasury Secretary to unilaterally remove an organization’s non-profit status. GUESTS: Andy Lee Roth is Associate Director of Project Censored and the coordinator of the Project’s Campus Affiliates Program. Shealeigh Voitl is digital and print editor at Project Censored.

What does the genocide in Gaza have to do with the working class here at home? Well, quite a lot. Imperialism is a home game and the same corporations and international interests that make bank off of blood oppress the U.S. workforce for that same bottom line. This week in a special one-hour interview episode, three guest experts join the Project Censored Radio show to discuss the U.S. supply chain and war: labor educator Gifford Hartman , researcher and CGPU-UAW union member Abdullah Farooq , and 40-year rail and marine transportation veteran Fritz Edler . Together they outline not only the current actions and efforts of workers to connect the dots between oppression here at home and abroad but also the silenced and buried history of workplace organizing against war, including direct action and strikes. Our guests also dive into the importance of public ownership of transportation such as rail, the nefarious ways in which automation fuels both the war machine and destitution here in the U.S., and what a just transition away from war could mean not only for workers here but indeed around the whole world.

In the first half of the show, cohost Eleanor Goldfield speaks with Juley Fulcher — attorney and worker health and safety advocate for Public Citizen’s Congress watch division — about her recent report, Scorched States, an expose of the inadequate or wholly lacking protections for workers facing extreme heat in the age of climate chaos. Juley describes the legislative morass standing in the way of workers’ rights and how states like Florida and Texas have actually made it illegal to protect workers. Next, Mickey Huff joins Eleanor for a conversation about whether the corporate media are accurately covering immigration or, instead, are exaggerating the differences between the Biden and Trump administrations’ immigration practices.

In the first half of the show, we learn about members of the U.S. military who’ve resigned their posts over moral objections to the U.S. support of Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza and speak with Palestinian-American Mohammed Abouhashem , a former U.S. Air Force sergeant. He also rebuts claims that Israeli forces attempt to minimize civilian casualties and questions whether Israel was really taken by surprise by the October 7 Hamas attack. Next, Eleanor speaks with Australian filmmaker Kym Staton about his documentary “Trust Fall,” just released in the U.S. this month. “Trust Fall” recounts the personal and professional life of Julian Assange, as well as the U.S. campaign against him. The film was completed before Assange gained his freedom, yet Kym says “Trust Fall” is still a vital chronicle of an effort to punish a journalist. He notes that some Australian media continue to spread falsehoods about Assange, despite the legal proceeding being over. GUESTS: Mohammed Abouhashem was a career sergeant in the U.S. Air Force, who resigned last October after 22 years in the USAF. Kym Staton is an Australian filmmaker, musician and poet.

Critical Media Literacy and the 2024 Election 59:58

59:58

Mickey’s guest for the hour is media scholar Nolan Higdon . They discuss how the principles of critical media literacy could help the public make sense of the current, chaotic election season in the U.S. and how the divide and contrasting worldviews between the older and younger generations can be partly explained by their choices of media. They discuss the consequences of our serious lack of media literacy education and how the American electorate could benefit from learning media literacy skills and by diversifying their media diets to include more independent outlets and fewer corporate, establishment ones, too busy cheering and jeering Team Red or Team Blue to report factually on the key policy issues that really matter to voters most. Note: This program was recorded on July 12, prior to the shooting attack against former president Donald Trump. Dr. Nolan Higdon is a lecturer in Education at the University of California Santa Cruz campus and a prolific author on media issues. He is the author of The Anatomy of Fake News and co-author of The United States of Distraction , The Media and Me , and Let’s Agree to Disagree . He writes on Substack at NolanHigdon and also has an article, which we discuss, in the June/July issue of The Progressive magazine titled “The Establishment Strikes Back.” The post Critical Media Literacy and the 2024 Election appeared first on KPFA .…

In the first part of the program, Eleanor Goldfield speaks with journalist and analyst Ben Norton about the ongoing proxy war between Russia and NATO happening in Ukraine, the bludgeoning of multiple peace deals by the U.S., and the ultimately pointless struggle against a multipolar world. Ben also highlights the recent media kerfuffle on the petrodollar: what it is, why it matters, and where our economy is headed. Next, Eleanor speaks with Swedish actor, writer, and activist Håkan Julander about Sweden’s fall from grace — the country that isn’t what you think it is. Håkan outlines the abysmal state of Swedish media, the selling of Sweden’s soul to a declining empire, where hope lies, and more.

In a plea bargain with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, the Justice Department ended its effort to extradite him to the U.S. for an Espionage Act trial, and Assange, freed from Britain’s Belmarsh Prison, returned home to Australia a free man. The Assange legal case is over, but what are the ongoing implications for press freedom? We hear from the reporter who covered the Assange case for its entire duration. Then … How might social media influence the 2024 election? Mickey speaks with the three authors (also Project Censored staffers) of a new article on social media, the efforts of government and Big Tech to control or censor it (often without users’ knowledge), and the countermeasures employed by online communities to maintain communications. GUESTS: Kevin Gosztola is an independent journalist. He has covered the Julian Assange legal proceedings in the UK from their beginning, as well as other press-freedom and whistleblower cases, and has been a frequent guest on the Project Censored Show.

In the first half of the show, Eleanor Goldfield speaks with professor and author Mohammed Bamyeh about the no-state solution, an idea rooted in Palestinian and regional history that speaks of legitimate liberation in the face of continued state-imposed oppression and colonialist violence. Mohammed also explains the origins and outgrowth of fundamentalism and the need to go beyond realism when reality has failed and continues to fail the people. In the second half, Eleanor speaks with journalist and author John Washington about his book, The Case For Open Borders , and the historic, economic, political, and environmental reasons why and how open borders would not only be possible but beneficial to all. John also highlights the contradictions and hypocrisies of borders, the inefficacy of militarized borders, and the very real effects of the recent Biden administration move to essentially close the border. Mohammed Bamyeh is Professor of Sociology at the University of Pittsburgh. His areas of scholarship include anarchism, revolution, religion, and the Arab world.

Federal authorities want to allow a large copper mine to be dug there. The San Carlos Apache say the struggle involves both land defense and religious freedom. The Supreme Court is slated to hear the case. In the second half, Mickey and Eleanor critique the recent performance of the media in covering Israel’s ongoing massacres of Palestinians in Gaza. Among other observations, they take note of an article explaining the bizarre tactics Palestinian journalists must use to avoid having their reporting censored by social-media algorithms.

In the first half of the show, cofounder and executive director of Shout Your Abortion Amelia Bonow joins Eleanor Goldfield to highlight the shifting times and paradigms on abortion access. Amelia points out that abortion has always been difficult to access for millions of women in the U.S, even before the Supreme Court’s reversal of its 49-year-old Roe vs Wade decision. But Bonow says changing attitudes, and the near-universal availability of abortion pills, mean that choice is still possible, despite repressive state laws. Then, Kevin Gosztola returns to the show to discuss with Mickey Huff the latest news on — and hope for — Julian Assange. This includes a recent ruling by the UK High Court of Justice that could complicate or even halt the Biden Administration’s efforts to extradite Assange to the U.S. Kevin and Mickey also take note of new attacks on press freedom and whistleblower rights taking place in the U.S., Israel, and Australia, among other nations.

In the first segment, Mickey speaks with Professor Andrew Kennis , who explains his new theoretical model of media and society and also proposes reform policies (notably BBC-style public financing) to revive U.S. journalism in a way that serves the public, rather than commercial interests. Then, Mickey and Eleanor discuss the growing protests occurring around the US in opposition to more aid and weapons being sent to Israel for their attacks on Gaza. They address the media framing and censorship around those First-Amendment-protected events happening on a rapidly increasing number of America’s college campuses and revisit the echoes of Kent State, as we approach the 54th anniversary of those tragic events on May 4th 1970.

In the first half of today’s show, Eleanor’s topic is India’s occupation of Kashmir and its violent suppression of human rights there. She says, for this topic, the guest’s chair stayed empty, because Kashmiri journalists and activists — even those outside Kashmir — are forced to stay silent for fear of retribution against their families. Eleanor also points out the multiple parallels and connections between the Israeli occupation of Palestine and the Indian occupation of Kashmir. In the second half-hour, Ben Norton returns to the program to discuss the recent BRICS summit in Russia; he also compares the fast-growing BRICS group of economies with the US economy and its rising inequality.

Assange testifies at PACE / Pervasiveness of foreign money in U.S. political campaigns 53:57

Julian Assange has been a free man since June, but the issue of his long confinement in a UK prison is still in the news. Recently he testified before the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), and the Council then passed a resolution declaring that Assange could be designated a political prisoner. Independent journalist Kevin Gosztola joins Mickey to examine the implications of the PACE decision. They also discuss other press-freedom issues, notably the unprecedented death toll among journalists in the Gaza Strip, at the hands of Israeli forces. Then Steve Macek looks at foreign campaign spending in U.S. elections, taking note both of its widespread presence as well as the relative lack of interest by corporate media in reporting on the subject. He observes that only occasional stories about individual politicians’ potential campaign funding transgressions (such as those of NYC Mayor Eric Adams) make the news, but the system itself is seldom covered. Kevin Gosztola is the editor of the Dissenter newsletter, www.thedissenter.org. His book on the Julian Assange case, Guilty of Journalism , was published in 2023.

A genocide in the Caucasus? / Israeli killings of journalists 59:55

In the first half of today’s episode, international human rights lawyer Karnig Kerkonian discusses Azerbaijan’s ethnic cleansing of the Artsakh-Armenians from the region of Nagorno-Karabakh. Karnig outlines the genocidal intent of President Ilham Aliyev, how the U.S. knew and yet didn’t take steps to stop it, and how the international community should respond — not least of all as this year’s climate summit (COP29) is being held, ironically, in what Karnig calls the petrol-dictatorship of Azerbaijan. Then, journalist and researcher Chip Gibbons joins the show to discuss Israel’s targeted and mass killing of journalists on the ground in Gaza. Chip highlights the vehement hypocrisy with which the U.S. pretends to uphold freedom of the press while not only ignoring the murder of journalists but also pushing for a media blackout and censorship of reports from Gaza. GUESTS: Karnig Kerkonian is the founder of the Chicago-based law firm Kerkonian Dajani. Chip Gibbons is Policy Director at Defending Rights and Dissent, an NGO created by the merger of the Bill of Rights Defense Committee and the Defending Dissent Foundation. He is working on a book about the FBI, tentatively titled The Imperial Bureau . The post A genocide in the Caucasus? / Israeli killings of journalists appeared first on KPFA .…

Voices from Palestine: A Doctor’s Testimony from Gaza 59:58

The voices of Palestinians in Gaza are some of the most censored in the world. When not killed outright, they are silenced by purposeful omission, in order to support Israel’s narrative. It is therefore vital that alternative media work to find and platform these voices and that people who are not fooled by pro-Israel propaganda engage with them, share them, and allow them to inform our actions. This week Eleanor Goldfield sits down with Dr. Khalil Khalidy , an orthopedic doctor in Gaza. His testimony is necessary, powerful, and understandably distressing. We are therefore including a content warning for this week’s show, as Dr. Khalidy does not sugarcoat his lived experiences. The following program includes descriptions of an ongoing genocide and of psychological and physical suffering from the perspective of a doctor trying to work in abominable conditions with little to no supplies. Khalil Khalidy is an orthopedist in Deir al-Balah, Gaza. He is also trained in psychology. The post Voices from Palestine: A Doctor’s Testimony from Gaza appeared first on KPFA .…

Eleanor Goldfield hosts this week’s show. July 26 marked the 34th anniversary of the signing of the Americans With Disabilities Act. But is the ADA as far-reaching as it should be? Are the large disability-rights organizations keeping too close to the country’s ruling institutions and, in doing so, defeating their own professed objectives? In the first segment of the show, Eleanor’s guests talk about the limitations of the ADA and the inherent lapses that disability-rights groups make by not confronting the institutions that inflict disabilities and worsen the lives of those already living with disabilities, most notably in Gaza. In the second half, Eleanor and guests discuss the prospect of humans inhabiting Mars: is it a harmless sci-fi concept, or are “astro-colonial” ideas a distraction from the urgency of addressing the climate crisis on planet Earth? Jen Deerinwater and Ezra Star are members of Disability Divest (www.disabilitydivest.org), a collective that demands that “the disability establishment ends its relationships with war profiteers.” Zara Zimbardo is one of the creators of “Marsification” (www.marsification.com), a concept album that explores the idea of inhabiting space and finds it to be a continuation of colonialist ideology.
