Listen "Talk World Radio: Jeff Cohen on Colbert and the Corporate Media"

Episode Synopsis

This week on Talk World Radio we're talking about Paramount cancelling Stephen Colbert's show, and the corporate media cartel generally bowing to Trump. Our guest, media critic Jeff Cohen was founding director of the Park Center for Independent Media at Ithaca College, where he was an associate professor of journalism. He founded the media watch group FAIR in 1986, and cofounded the online activist group RootsAction.org in 2011. His recent column is called "Colbert’s Termination Is a Corporate Assault on Dissent and a Victory for Trump," and RootsAction has a petition to media owners telling them to stop paying Trump's bribes.
