    Description

    This is grotesque: as Donald Trump was found guilty of sexually abusing a columnist, a GB News show hosted by Jacob Rees Mogg featured a panel composed exclusively of Trump apologists. This whole episode exposes the hypocrisy of right-wingers like Mogg - who grandstand on moral issues when it means opposing civil rights, but having no words of condemnation for the most morally corrupt figures of our time.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.
