On today's A Public Affair we're honoring the life and legacy of Bob McChesney who passed away on March 25. The post Robert McChesney Retrospective appeared first on WORT-FM 89.9.
This week on CounterSpin: When Robert Kennedy Jr. was just a famously named man about town, we heard about how he dumped a bear carcass in Central Park for fun, believes that children's gender is shaped by chemicals in the water, and asserts that Covid-19 was “targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people,” while leaving “Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese” immune. But once you become RFK Jr., secretary of health and human services in a White House whose anger must not be drawn, those previously unacceptable ideas become, as a recent New York Times piece has it, “unorthodox.” Kennedy's unorthodox ideas may get us all killed while media whistle. We hear from Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, about that. For many years, social justice advocates rather discounted the Federal Communications Commission. Unlike the Federal Trade Commission or the Food and Drug Administration, whose actions had visible impacts on your life, the FCC didn't seem like a player. That changed over recent years, as we've seen the role the federal government plays in regulating the power of media corporations to control the flow of information. As the late, great media scholar Bob McChesney explained, “When the government grants free monopoly rights to TV spectrum … it is not setting the terms of competition; it is picking the winner.” We'll talk about the FCC under Trump with Jessica González, co-CEO of the group McChesney co-founded, Free Press. The post Paul Offit on RFK Jr. and Measles / Jessica González on Trump's FCC appeared first on KPFA.

Is good journalism going extinct? Fractured audiences and tight budgets have downsized or sunk many of the fourth estate's major battleships, including this very program. NOW's David Brancaccio talks to professor Bob McChesney and journalist John Nichols about the perils of a shrinking news media landscape, and their bold proposal to save noncommercial journalism with government subsidies. Their new book is "The Death and Life of American Journalism: The Media Revolution that Will Begin the World Again." Should public journalism get the next government bailout?
Bob McChesney on FCC and Indecency, Daniel Ellsberg on Whistleblowers This week on Counterspin: the FCC is on an anti-indecency crusade thats already led to broadcasters self-censoring such controversial things as a nude lithograph on Antiques Roadshow. Whos fighting back? And what happened to all those other issues of media reform we were talking about just last year? Well hear from author and media historian Bob McChesney on that story. Also on the show: Daniel Ellsbergs leaking of the Pentagon papers 35 years ago exposed the US governments cynicism and disregard for the human cost of the Vietnam War. Today Ellsberg joins us to talk about two important current whistleblower stories the media is neglecting. The post Counterspin – April 1, 2005 appeared first on KPFA.
