Description

From 7th October 2023, it's been clear that media coverage about Palestinians has been defined by racism: that their lives are considered to have little value.That's not simply an assertion. A detailed study has gone through the BBC's coverage in depth - and it has exposed the undeniable fact that there is proportionately far less coverage of Palestinians being killed than Israelis, and that far less humanising language is being used per violent death.This isn't simply a moral affront - this racist coverage is crucial to making sure that one of the great crimes of our time is not being stopped.You can see the study by the brilliant researchers Jan Lietava and Dana Najjar here: https://github.com/liet-git/bbc-biasSupport 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.
