Some commentary on an absolutely chilling #NPR interview with a starving Palestinian writer in Gaza. In case one needs more proof that mainstream media is an empty husk devoid of all integrity.

Apparently this book #Owned argues the tech billionaires indirectly bought #GlennGreenwald and #MattTaibbi. Maybe. I do think media ownership always influences the content. And also that creators come to recognize how to shape their content to get popular with different crowds. But #CitationsNeeded always claims that if you're not their version of left on an issue, something bad faith is going on. And none of these folks ever say this all demands media decentralization.

WOW! I didn't know this about these historians! A #MustListenEpisode

#CitationsNeeded
#Episode213: The Shallow, Power-Flattering appeal of high Status #Resistance #Historians

#AnneApplebaum , #TimothySnyder, #RuthBenGhiat , etc. have become liberal-friendly experts on #authoritarianism.

Citations Needed looks at the advent and influence of MSNBC-approved #historians dissecting their SELECTIVE #antiauthoritarian posture and discussing how their work does little more than polish their careers and provide cover for U.S. and U.S.-allied #militarism.

Later on, is guest #GregGrandin (upcoming #book in April 2025)

#FreePalestineNOW 🇵🇸 #history #farright

Great episode re why the resistance historians who are constantly scaring Dems about impending fascism feels like a grift. #CitationsNeeded

I've noticed the crediting of Tatiana Maslany in the patron list at the end of Citations Needed podcast the last two episodes. It might not be THE Tatiana Maslany, but if it is, it only redoubles my sense that she's one of the best people in show business.

(If you don't know Citations Needed, it's a superb US leftist media criticism podcast; highly recommend!)

...OK, time to rewatch Orphan Black. It's been far too long!

@davidtoddmccarty I used to think pretty much the same way, was very dismissive of the genre because of some problematic, schlocky country songs/artists out there. Consider listening to these two things for a different POV:

1. Dolly Parton - 9 to 5, full album (its *SO* good - she is blisteringly angry about so much on this record and I'm still angry that the way she has been treated over the decades has centered on her appearance, and not her actions)
2. Podcast episode from #CitationsNeeded - on how the Right shaped pop country
