Description

The brothers welcome historian and headline fixer Assal Rad to discuss the mainstream media’s role in manufacturing consent and perpetuating Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian racism, how it enables the Gaza genocide, how it accepts Israeli state propaganda as fact while rendering suspect Palestinian eyewitness accounts, and the differences between the coverage of Israel’s genocide in Gaza from its war on Iran.


Date of recording: July 15, 2025.
