Senior Journalist Exposes Media Complicity In Mass Murder - w/ Peter Oborne
Peter Oborne knows the British media inside out - including prominent roles at right-wing outlets The Daily Telegraph and The Spectator and in TV. He talks me through the media's complicity in the horrors of Gaza, Israel's defiance of the ICJ ruling, and the outrageous role of our political establishment.Make sure you get his latest book The Fate of Abraham: Why the West is Wrong about Islam.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.

Owen Jones, journalist, author of Chavs and The Establishment, or "that left-wing idiot off the telly", is fed up with the establishment media. After all, it punches down, not up, blames minorities for all the problems in society, and, let's face it, often just parrots the government line. So this podcast is offering something different: speaking truth to power, giving the marginalised a voice, offering hope - and having a laugh along the way. From Michael Sheen to Judith Butler, Prof. Devi Sridhar to Noam Chomsky, Peter Hitchens to Chelsea Manning and Gary Younge to Stewart Lee, the interviewees couldn't be more eclectic. Expect documentaries, too, exposing injustice and going to enemy territory - and discussions with experts on everything from COVID dreams about the pandemic to the history of US-backed coups. We'll learn a lot - but above all else, have our optimism in a better world rebooted. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast. Hosted on Acast.
