UK media hounds Black professor, Politico’s confusing neutrality stance + millennial TV shows love Israel
About this episode
Jan and Antoinette discuss the implications of the British press's portrayal of Jason Arday's death and explore issues of media neutrality and cultural propaganda in TV shows.
In this episode Jan and Antoinette explain why the death of Cambridge’s youngest Black professor Jason Arday was not, in fact, a “plagiarism row” but something far greater and more pernicious that the British press had a hand in. Plus, popular newsletter Politico launches its Canberra team with claims to be neutral and not take a side. Its CEO - and a five-item checklist - says otherwise. There’s also a shout-out to students taking on Pauline Hanson (and silly questions from the press), and the TikToker combing through 90s TV shows finding soft propaganda for Israel.
