Listen "Political Bias in Media, from a Progressive's Perspective | Josh Elstro"

Episode Synopsis

Many of the guests on Viewpoints, so far, have been critical of the mainstream media for being too left-leaning. Well, in this episode you're going to hear from someone who thinks that mainstream media is, if anything, still too right-leaning.

Josh Elstro is a podcast and multimedia producer for Convergence Magazine, a publication that works with organizers and activists to promote socially progressive causes.

We discuss media bias, echo chambers and the possibility of talking across political divides. It is a fun and spirited discussion that I think you're going to enjoy, regardless of your politics.
Some of the topics we get into (and often disagree on) are:

Is the media too left or too right-leaning?
NPR and its catering to white progressives
Coverage of the Palestinian cause
Neoliberal capitalist dominance in the media
Billionaires influence in politics
Is wokeness even a thing?
Do people on the right have any legitimate beefs or are they all Trumped up, pun intended?


And much more....
