Description

GB News is suffering a full scale implosion: technical disasters were followed by a near total collapse in its audience, the sudden absence of founder Andrew Neil, the resignation of senior figures, and then a public repudiation of a presenter who took the knee and his removal from air at the behest of angry viewers - on a TV station which claimed to be founded to oppose 'cancel culture' and the censorious mob.What does this tell us about the right? Well, that they are massive hypocrites, obviously, but joining me are Hussein Kesvani and Zoe Williams to dissect that in detail.Please like, subscribe - and help us take on the right wing media here: https://www.patreon.com/owenjones84Support 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.
