Wikipedia has been hijacked. Although the free internet encyclopedia poses as a neutral, unbiased and trustworthy source of information, it can easily be manipulated by ideologues, governments and other partisan actors. Here, Ashley Rindsberg – editor and chief investigative officer of @NPOVMedia – lifts the lid on the behind-the-scenes policies that make bias inevitable and allow a handful of anonymous editors to rewrite reality.

There is more than one way to burn a book. In the modern publishing industry, books are censored, edited or scrapped entirely to avoid straying from woke dogma. ‘Sensitivity readers’ scour for words, characters and plot lines that could cause offence to minorities. ‘Morality clauses’ ensure that authors espouse the correct views in public. The result is books that are bland, predictable and utterly safe. Here, Adam Szetela – author of That Book is Dangerous! – lifts the lid on how the publishing industry itself became the enemy of literature.

Twenty years ago, Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten published 12 cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, sparking protests, riots and boycotts across the Muslim world. Clashes outside Danish embassies led to at least 200 deaths. Flemming Rose was the culture editor who commissioned the cartoons. Here, he explains why we must fight for the right to draw Muhammad, why we must never bow to Islamic intolerance and why self-censorship is the greatest enemy of free speech.

Keir Starmer’s recognition of Palestine has been hailed by Hamas as a victory for its cause. The anti-Semitic army has thanked the UK prime minister for rewarding the 7 October pogrom, the deadliest day for Jews since the Nazi Holocaust. Here, Andrew Fox – former British Army officer and co-host of the podcast, The Brink – argues that this is a moment of shame for Britain. Starmer’s gambit, he says, will do nothing for ordinary Palestinians and will not bring an end to the war in Gaza. It will only embolden those committed to Israel’s destruction.

Politicians are finally waking up to the folly of Net Zero. The Tories have called for drilling in the North Sea. Reform UK wants to lift the ban on fracking. But the UK’s Labour government remains totally committed to renewables, no matter the costs. Here, Kathryn Porter – energy consultant and founder of Watt-Logic – explains why Britain’s bet on wind power has proved so disastrous. The result is rising prices, deindustrialisation and even the risk of major blackouts. The time to change course, she says, is now.

When a man can declare himself a woman, how do we know what is true or false anymore? The institutions we might once have looked to – from academia to journalism to science – have all rallied around the absurdity that we can change sex at will. Here, Wesley Yang – essayist and author of The Souls of Yellow Folk – explains how a ‘successor ideology’ has captured the liberal mind. It has swapped tolerance and pluralism for brutal authoritarianism. And it has redefined reality itself, embedding lies in the fabric of our institutions. Democracy, Wesley says, is our only hope of resisting it.

this podcast is surprisingly dull
What a giant faggot. Oh, Zelensky was democratically elected (no mention of the U.S./NATO-backed coup preceding). Ukraine was just tending its own kettle when teh eebul Russkies come a'invadin' (no mention of Kiev's years of hostile actions toward the ethnically and pro-Russian people of the eastern provinces). I could go on, but character limits and all. Simply put, that was just plain embarrassing.
Sack the editor. How did that happen? Last interview I could tell something was wrong right away when Fraser sounded like a Smurf. Then he starts talking over the top of the interviewee.
I love the propaganda advert for the French energy company raking in the cash thanks to the British people's subsidy paid towards the profiteering French state. The ironies abound. Hilarious !
even the ad is propaganda. Hearings have established. there was no planned insurrection or even any insurrection whatsoever yet they keep saying it
I may stop listening if they regularly include interviews in this podcast. Why did they think that people who tune in to hear a few people chatting about a number of topics would want to hear such a long, dry talk on the local elections? The one highlight of this was where the speaker jumped in and corrected Fraser when he followed the MSM line of Labour doing well in London. This was very telling, another example of Spiked's political bias stopping them from looking at the facts.
Abortion is murder! And Ireland are murderers
Why do they say “from Spiked’s perspective”? Does everyone at Spiked have the same view on everything?
Oddly apologist, apeasing episode. After days of the most horrendous brutality unleashed by Russian troops onto Ukrainian civilians, I'm amazed Spiked spend the majority of the episode criticizing the Western response to the crisis. We are at economic war with Russia, in responses to current Russian refusal to stop killing civilians and withdraw Russian troops from sovereign Ukraine. Spiked here is making the critical error of conflating the public decision to not purchase Russian goods, to decline being involved with Russians - as hatred or a phobia. No, the majority of the public are better than you give us credit for: we wish to support Ukraine rather than Russia. The public decided to take a side. By contrast these three presenters seen to be much more comfortable sitting on the fence.
still unsure how whistling Bob the builder is racist.
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Hearing from different people and I felt a deeper, more meaningful discussion. I'd like to hear more episodes like this.
Law enforcement officers are resigning in all Democrat states, it's only going to get worse, places like Chicago and Minnesota better ask Hollywood for the blueprints to build ED-209s just to prevent self destruction
She mentions the "Irish border" referring to that between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. That's a fictional border the British created during the partition of Ireland. The Irish border is the sea. Also, the US is a signator of the Good Friday Agreement so it's legally and morally obliged to protect. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the British government who are prepared to rip it up to protect Brexit. They talk about the integrity and unity of the UK and not separating off a region of it yet they clearly need to educate themselves on their history of partitioning other countries. Scotland doesn't even want to stay and Northern Ireland will eventually unify with the rest of Ireland.
why are you ignoring the evidence just released?
great episode and insights as usual. thanks!
It's important to ask what has Trump done in office to get these many votes especially from Black and Latino people. Trump managed to reduce prison sentence for thousands and had given a number of tax cuts and given communities a number of funds. But the question is whether this balances out with Trump's inflammatory response to the race riots.
.m .
Sir Desmond Swayne articulate the point some people feel about the coronavirus response form the government. shame alot of his fellow party members sat in parliament looking sheepish and uneasy as he spoke.
The Democrat Convention, was just one big Trump Derangement Syndrome group therapy session. Kim Klacik will make a difference regards to the Baltimore shithole and highlight that California is also a shithole.
Of course it's China's fault for this damn virus
