Episode 139: The Liberal Media Myth

In this episode of The Humanist Report podcast, we’ll discuss one of the main culprits to blame for our current political predicament: American news media. Last week they cheerleaded Trump on as he illegally and unconstitutionally bombed Syria. Also, we learned the extent of the mainstream media’s corruption when a former MSNBC host, Ed Schultz exposed how much influence higher ups have on pundits’ content. We’ll also discuss UN Ambassador Nikki Haley’s hypocrisy when it comes to human rights, Democrats’ attempts to water down net neutrality legislation in California, Trump’s flip-flop on the TPP, the Republican Party’s war on the poor, Hillary Clinton’s ongoing control over the DNC, and why Bernie Sanders should endorse New York gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon. We’ll close the show with interviews from two progressive congressional candidates; Tamborine Borrelli of Washington’s 10th congressional district, and Tim Canova of Florida’s 23rd. It’s a gigantic episode that covers a broad range of topics… enjoy!
