To begin this week's show, Mickey welcomes back media scholar Nolan Higdon. They discuss his new podcast Disinfo Detox and recurring special feature “The Gaslight Gazette,” which analyzes current events and media coverage of them through a critical media literacy lens aiming to deconstruct deceptive media messaging. They also discuss legacy media's failure to adequately cover Joe Biden's physical and cognitive decline in the last election, which a new book co-authored by CNN's Jake Tapper addresses. The authors shift blame from corporate media to the Democratic Party, without noting their own lack of in-depth coverage, even though there were stories published at the time in the independent press. Later in the show Eleanor Goldfield and Mickey present another installment in their “Is This the Best We Can Do?” segment that analyzes the competency of current government appointees for the positions they fulfill. They examine recent cases of astonishing ignorance by two of Trump's department heads, as well as the way Biden's former State Department spokesman changed his story once out of office. Nolan Higdon teaches in the Education Department at the University of California Santa Cruz campus. He's also written extensively on media issues and is a frequent guest on the Project Censored Show.   The post Disinfo, Decline, and Dysfunction / Ignorance and deception in high places appeared first on KPFA.

Eleanor Goldfield hosts this week's program. In the first segment, we learn about the ongoing crisis that began with Hurricane Helene and why it continues, as federal and state authorities fail to address the actual needs of the people affected by the disaster. Next, a look at how the Trump administration, and some states, are working to suppress free speech by labeling any criticism of Israel as “antisemitism” and why this effort is actually a danger to Jewish people. Chelsea White-Hoglen is a lifelong Western North Carolina resident, a community organizer, and a mutual-aid worker. She also produces and hosts “Rednecks Rising,” a podcast about Appalachia. Alex Kane is a senior reporter at Jewish Currents magazine (www.jewishcurrents.org).   The post Continuing impacts of Hurricane Helene / Governments weaponizing antisemitism appeared first on KPFA.

Eleanor Goldfield hosts this week's program, which focuses on two major issues on U.S. campuses. First, a look at how universities (notably Columbia) have suppressed student protests against the Israeli genocide in Gaza and what explains the severity of those actions. Then, how are universities dealing with student complaints about faculty members? Are the processes fair? What are the implications for academic freedom? GUEST: Kei Pritzker is a journalist at Breakthrough News, and a co-director of the documentary “The Encampments.” Nick Wolfinger teaches at the University of Utah, and is the editor of the new book Professors Speak Out, which presents 22 accounts of campus investigations, as told by the faculty members involved.   The post Crackdown on Pro-Palestine Students / “Professors Speak Out” on Investigations appeared first on KPFA.

Arielle Angel is the Editor of Jewish Currents magazine (www.jewishcurrents.org).   The post Honoring Independent Journalism: The 2025 “Izzy” Awards appeared first on KPFA.

Eleanor Goldfield hosts this week's Project Censored Show. Her first guest, Ben Price, speaks about the concept of “rights of nature” and how a legal system based on the control of “property” necessarily subordinates both the rights of humans and the rights of nature. In the second half of the program, Maya Schenwar and Kim Wilson examine the effects of the U.S. prison system on the families of prisoners and explain why “prisons are the canaries in the coal mine.” GUESTS: Ben Price is the education director at the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (www.CELDF.org). Maya Schenwar and Kim Wilson are the coeditors of the 2024 book, “We Grow the World Together,” a collection of essays on the impact of  imprisonment on families — especially the children of prisoners.   The post Rights of Humans, Rights of Nature / Incarceration and Families appeared first on KPFA.

Eleanor Goldfield speaks with Chip Gibbons, who details the acquiescence of academia and corporate media to the Trump  administration and Israel and sets these in the historical context of prior federal attacks on First Amendment rights. Next, Gene Bruskin explains the connection between the militarized U.S. economy and the daily pocketbook issues that confront American workers. GUESTS: Chip Gibbons is Policy Director at Defending Rights and Dissent (www.rightsanddissent.org), a free-speech-advocacy organization.

Eleanor Goldfield opens the program, speaking with Gaza physician Khalil Khalidy about continuing aggression by Israel, despite the supposed Gaza cease-fire. He also explains how decades of Israeli occupation and travel restrictions have split Palestinian populations from one another, not only geographically, but also culturally. Later, Eleanor and Mickey Huff discuss recent under-reported or mis-reported stories, as well as corporate media's propensity to “normalize” abusive behavior the by U.S. government. Khalil Khalidy is an orthopedist in Deir al-Balah, Gaza.   The post Gaza's Reality, Propaganda, and the Fight for Justice appeared first on KPFA.

This week, a special Project Censored episode: “What To Us Is International Women's Day?,” a variation on the question asked by Frederick Douglass: What to the Slave is the 4th of July? March 8th is International Women's Day, and while many will and do celebrate this day in revolutionary ways, the truth is that IWD, like so many other holidays, is often used to serve the vehemently anti-feminist goals of the architects of our oppression. So-called white feminism perpetuates the evils of white supremacy, colonialism, capitalism, patriarchy, and imperialism — but with a femme facade, pushing us to ask what to us is an international women's day which doesn't seek to dismantle the very systems that use, abuse and torment women across the U.S. and the globe? Award-winning journalist Mnar Adley and organizer Afeni Evans will join Eleanor Goldfield for this special hour-long dive into the insidious machinations of white feminism, who gets violently othered and why, the internationalist demands of a revolutionary feminism, and what really to us, is — or could be — International Women's Day?   The post What To Us Is International Women's Day? appeared first on KPFA.

Eleanor Goldfield is a journalist, filmmaker, and, more than anything, she's a creative radical. She co-hosts Common Censored and Project Censored. Also, I hope she doesn't mind my saying so, she put out some killer music a few years back. I've been following her for years now, and figured now was a perfect time for us to dive into the world.

Mickey Huff and Eleanor Goldfield co-host this week's Project Censored Show. In the first half of the program, Palestinian legal expert Hassan Ben Imran speaks with Eleanor about the continuing international-law case against Israel. He also expresses his concern that the Trump administration may surpass previous US administrations' defiance of rulings that go against the U.S., by actively attempting to defund and disempower agencies like the International Criminal Court. In the second half, Mickey Huff joins Eleanor for a discussion of recent news and news coverage, most notably major U.S. media's reluctance to cite estimates of the true death toll in Gaza or to tally the U.S. tax dollars that went to fund the genocide. Hassan Ben Imran is a member of the Governing Council of Law for Palestine and a PhD researcher in Law at the University of Galway, Ireland.     The post Gaza, Israel, and International law / U.S. media's failure on Gaza appeared first on KPFA.

In the first half of the program, Eleanor Goldfield interviews a Native American reporter who was arrested while covering a protest about land claims, despite showing the police his press credentials. Isaac White is a Mohawk journalist based in Akwesasne, upstate New York. His story highlights the importance of and dangers to local and Indigenous media. Then Mickey Huff speaks with John Collins, the founder of the independent journalism site weavenews.org, about the responsibilities of the non-corporate press in the years ahead, as the biases and failures of corporate media become increasingly evident. Collins is a professor emeritus of global studies at St. Lawrence University. He explains that journalism is too important to be left to the powers that be and what we need right now more than ever is news of, for, and by the people. John also talks about his books and years of work on Palestine and how Palestine is in fact not only an issue unto itself but also a lens for examining colonialism, capitalism, media, the politics of representation, and more.   The post The Special Challenges to Indigenous Reporting, a Case from NY / The Mandate for Grassroots Journalism appeared first on KPFA.

In the first part of the program, economist Dr. Richard Wolff joins co-host Eleanor Goldfield to set the record straight on what tariffs really are and how bizarrely hypocritical it is that the famously anti-tax republican party is now the party that wants a lot of taxes — taxes aimed at you and me. Professor Wolff also explains the wrong-headed thinking about immigration: in fact, steady immigration into the U.S. is and has been a sign of a healthy economy, so the fact that the nation can't and won't embrace immigration today is actually a big red flag that our economy is weak — as further evidenced by how well the BRICS nations are doing compared to the G7. In the second half, co-host Mickey Huff speaks with journalists Maya Schenwar and Negin Owliaei about how media must NOT back down to Trump's threats against press freedom. Maya and Negin outline the multi pronged attacks that journalists and media organizations are facing, remarking that none of us alone can surmount these problems but that real active solidarity and community building is key — along with contextualizing our today in the struggles of yesterday and NEVER complying in advance   The post Don't Get Distracted: Bitter Economic Pills and Threats to Free Press Hit Everyone appeared first on KPFA.

In the first half of today's show, co-host Eleanor Goldfield speaks with Leyna Quinn-Davidson, the Fire Network Director for the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources about the confluence of issues that are quite literally fueling the fires in LA County. Leyna highlights how we have to shift our thinking about not only how fires burn but their historic and vital role in bolstering healthy ecosystems. She also pinpoints some simple actions people in the area can take to protect their homes and, perhaps more important, their communities, since what your neighbor does or doesn't do in these situations will directly affect you. In the second half, experienced conflict correspondent Theia Chatelle joins the program to talk about suing Yale PD, a frustrating but enlightening process that uncovered a vast and deep web of surveillance and repressive tactics aimed at students engaging in constitutionally protected speech and protest. Theia discusses the frightening levels of coordination between campus police, local and federal law enforcement, Zionist organizations, and even counter-terrorism agencies. She connects this to a larger pattern of repression across U.S. colleges, universities, and towns and cities beyond campus borders, where the panopticon-style surveillance follows anyone and everyone who could be deemed a threat to the status quo.   The post Lessons from the LA fires / Surveillance of Student Protesters: The Case of Yale appeared first on KPFA.

Eleanor Goldfield hosts this week's program. Her first guest is Shrouq Aila, a Palestinian journalist/producer and resident of the Gaza Strip. She describes daily life under Israeli invasion and genocide, Israel's targeting of reporters for assassination, and the challenges of living the story she covers. Then former State Department official Matthew Hoh shares his observations from a recent visit to Israel and the occupied West Bank and explains his belief that Israel's primary goal for the next several years is to displace the West Bank's remaining Palestinian population and annex the entire territory. GUESTS: Shrouq Aila is a Palestinian journalist/producer and resident of the Gaza Strip. She lost her husband in an Israeli attack. Her work can be found at www.instagram.com/shrouqaila. Matthew Hoh is a Marine Corps combat veteran, and a former State Department official.   The post Reporting Under Fire: Gaza, Genocide, and the Truth Behind the Headlines appeared first on KPFA.

Project Censored's new yearbook, “State of the Free Press 2025” is fresh off the presses. In the first segment, Andy Lee Roth and Shealeigh Voitl talk with Mickey about the extensive process that culminates in the selection of the annual “Top 25” censored stories. They also speak about the need to extend media analysis beyond fact-checking to “frame-checking.” In the second half, Mickey and co-host Eleanor Goldfield speak about Eleanor's new article on media literacy for activists, including various ideas on how activists can successfully interact with the different categories of media. Mickey and Eleanor also alert listeners to the dangers of House Bill 9495, a measure that would empower the U.S. Treasury Secretary to unilaterally remove an organization's non-profit status. GUESTS: Andy Lee Roth is Associate Director of Project Censored and the coordinator of the Project's Campus Affiliates Program. Shealeigh Voitl is digital and print editor at Project Censored.   The post Unplugging the News: The Fight for Local Journalism and the State of the Free Press (encore) appeared first on KPFA.

The News That Didn't Make the News. Each week, co-hosts Mickey Huff and Eleanor Goldfield conduct in depth interviews with their guests and offer hard hitting commentary on the key political, social, and economic issues of the day with an emphasis on critical media literacy. The post Project Censored – December 6, 2024 appeared first on KPFA.

The voices of Palestinians in Gaza are some of the most censored in the world. When not killed outright, they are silenced by purposeful omission, in order to support Israel's narrative. It is therefore vital that alternative media work to find and platform these voices and that people who are not fooled by pro-Israel propaganda engage with them, share them, and allow them to inform our actions. This week Eleanor Goldfield sits down with Dr. Khalil Khalidy, an orthopedic doctor in Gaza. His testimony is necessary, powerful, and understandably distressing. We are therefore including a content warning for this week's show, as Dr. Khalidy does not sugarcoat his lived experiences. The following program includes descriptions of an ongoing genocide and of psychological and physical suffering from the perspective of a doctor trying to work in abominable conditions with little to no supplies. Khalil Khalidy is an orthopedist in Deir al-Balah, Gaza. He is also trained in psychology.   The post Voices from Palestine: A Doctor's Testimony from Gaza appeared first on KPFA.

Eleanor Goldfield is joined on this week's program with a special guest co-host: Maximillian Alvarez, Editor-in-Chief at the Real News Network. Their subject is the Julian Assange case and its implications for press freedom going forward. Their guests provide a recap of the case and new information on why the U.S. abandoned its years-long effort to extradite Assange from the UK and instead agreed to a plea bargain under which the Wikileaks founder was freed. GUESTS: Chip Gibbons is Policy Director at Defending Rights and Dissent, www.rightsanddissent.org. Kevin Gosztola is the editor of the Dissenter newsletter, www.thedissenter.org. His book on the Julian Assange case, Guilty of Journalism, was published in 2023.   The post The Julian Assange Case and the Future of Journalism appeared first on KPFA.

Eleanor Goldfield hosts this week's show. July 26 marked the 34th anniversary of the signing of the Americans With Disabilities Act. But is the ADA as far-reaching as it should be? Are the large disability-rights organizations keeping too close to the country's ruling institutions and, in doing so, defeating their own professed objectives? In the first segment of the show, Eleanor's guests talk about the limitations of the ADA and the inherent lapses that disability-rights groups make by not confronting the institutions that inflict disabilities and worsen the lives of those already living with disabilities, most notably in Gaza. In the second half, Eleanor and guests discuss the prospect of humans inhabiting Mars: is it a harmless sci-fi concept, or are “astro-colonial” ideas a distraction from the urgency of addressing the climate crisis on planet Earth? Jen Deerinwater and Ezra Star are members of Disability Divest (www.disabilitydivest.org), a collective that demands that “the disability establishment ends its relationships with war profiteers.” Zara Zimbardo is one of the creators of “Marsification” (www.marsification.com), a concept album that explores the idea of inhabiting space and finds it to be a continuation of colonialist ideology.   The post Systemic failure of major disability organizations / What is Marsification? appeared first on KPFA.

Eleanor Goldfield hosts this week's show. In the first half-hour, we hear the story of a Texas prison inmate, his struggle to publicize the abuses that go on behind the walls, and the prison authorities' efforts to suppress his work and retaliate against him. We also discuss the significance of prison journalism in the overall battle for press freedom. In the second half, the latest about Palestine, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the International Criminal Court (ICC). A legal expert examines the recent ICJ opinion on the illegality of the Israeli occupation, as well as the ICC's possible issuance of an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Resources on Incarceration: www.securustech.net prisonjournalismproject.org themarshallproject.org GUESTS: Jeremy Busby, inmate #00881193 in the Texas prison system, is a journalist who covers prison life from the inside. His writing can be found at freedom.press and other outlets. His personal web site is www.joinjeremy.org. Seth Stern is Director of Advocacy at Freedom of the Press Foundation (www.freedom.press). Hassan Ben Imran is a member of the governing council of Law for Palestine (www.law4palestine.org) and a researcher in law at the University of Galway in Ireland.   The post Journalism behind bars / Palestine and international law appeared first on KPFA.

In the first half of the show, cohost Eleanor Goldfield speaks with Juley Fulcher — attorney and worker health and safety advocate for Public Citizen's Congress watch division — about her recent report, Scorched States, an expose of the inadequate or wholly lacking protections for workers facing extreme heat in the age of climate chaos. Juley describes the legislative morass standing in the way of workers' rights and how states like Florida and Texas have actually made it illegal to protect workers. Next, Mickey Huff joins Eleanor for a conversation about whether the corporate media are accurately covering immigration or, instead, are exaggerating the differences between the Biden and Trump administrations' immigration practices.   The post Scorched States, Where Heat Kills Workers / Media and Immigration Narratives appeared first on KPFA.

Ten months in, the US role in Israel's genocide in Gaza goes far beyond complicity. Israel is butchering Palestinians with US bombs, funding, and political and military support, and some members of the US military are resigning in protest. In this episode of the Project Censored Show, which is now syndicated by TRNN, host Eleanor Goldfield speaks with Palestinian-American Mohammed Abouhashem, who on Oct. 21 of last year left the US Air Force after 22 years of service. Abouhashem discusses his decision to leave amidst the murder of six of his family members in Palestine. He describes the ongoing genocide through a lens of military experience, highlighting how Israel and its ally the US are well aware of the civilian casualties—an awareness that, for Mohammed, made any further military service impossible.In the second segment of the show, Goldfield speaks with filmmaker Kym Staton about his film 'Trust Fall,' which was recently released in the US. The documentary chronicles the personal and professional life of Julian Assange as well as the US case against him. Staton makes clear the importance of this story and case, even after Assange won his freedom, and offers insight into the remarkable smear campaign against him and how people power is the key to not only combating misinformation, but in freeing one of the most significant political prisoners of our time.Read a transcript of this podcast here. Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast

In the first part of the program, Eleanor Goldfield speaks with journalist and analyst Ben Norton about the ongoing proxy war between Russia and NATO happening in Ukraine, the bludgeoning of multiple peace deals by the U.S., and the ultimately pointless struggle against a multipolar world. Ben also highlights the recent media kerfuffle on the petrodollar: what it is, why it matters, and where our economy is headed. Next, Eleanor speaks with Swedish actor, writer, and activist Håkan Julander about Sweden's fall from grace — the country that isn't what you think it is. Håkan outlines the abysmal state of Swedish media, the selling of Sweden's soul to a declining empire, where hope lies, and more.   The post The Motives for Ukraine Intervention / What Happened to Sweden? appeared first on KPFA.

In the first half of the show, Eleanor Goldfield speaks with professor and author Mohammed Bamyeh about the no-state solution, an idea rooted in Palestinian and regional history that speaks of legitimate liberation in the face of continued state-imposed oppression and colonialist violence. Mohammed also explains the origins and outgrowth of fundamentalism and the need to go beyond realism when reality has failed and continues to fail the people. In the second half, Eleanor speaks with journalist and author John Washington about his book, The Case For Open Borders, and the historic, economic, political, and environmental reasons why and how open borders would not only be possible but beneficial to all. John also highlights the contradictions and hypocrisies of borders, the inefficacy of militarized borders, and the very real effects of the recent Biden administration move to essentially close the border. Mohammed Bamyeh is Professor of Sociology at the University of Pittsburgh. His areas of scholarship include anarchism, revolution, religion, and the Arab world. John Washington is a staff writer for Arizona Luminaria (azluminaria.org). His work has also been published in the Atlantic, the Nation, the New York Review of Books, and elsewhere.   The post The No-State Solution & The Case For Open Borders appeared first on KPFA.

In the first half of the show, cofounder and executive director of Shout Your Abortion Amelia Bonow joins Eleanor Goldfield to highlight the shifting times and paradigms on abortion access. Amelia points out that abortion has always been difficult to access for millions of women in the U.S, even before the Supreme Court's reversal of its 49-year-old Roe vs Wade decision. But Bonow says changing attitudes, and the near-universal availability of abortion pills, mean that choice is still possible, despite repressive state laws. Then, Kevin Gosztola returns to the show to discuss with Mickey Huff the latest news on — and hope for — Julian Assange. This includes a recent ruling by the UK High Court of Justice that could complicate or even halt the Biden Administration's efforts to extradite Assange to the U.S. Kevin and Mickey also take note of new attacks on press freedom and whistleblower rights taking place in the U.S., Israel, and Australia, among other nations.   The post The Fight for Abortion Rights in 2024 / New Hope for Julian Assange appeared first on KPFA.

In the first half of the show, researcher and U.S. military veteran Christian Sorensen joins Eleanor Goldfield to discuss the business of war, the mapping of it, the remarkable spread of it, and the very real ability and need to shift this trillion dollar industry to something more sustainable and peaceful. Sorensen explains how the military industrial complex in this country is the classic definition of fascism, and why confronting this uncomfortable fact is quite simply necessary for a livable future. Then, we welcome Professor Richard Wolff back on the show, this time to articulate the dangerous delusions of American Exceptionalism that are hurting not only us but our allies in Europe as well. Professor Wolff outlines extreme miscalculations vis-à-vis Russia, China, and Israel; how right-wing fear mongering is failing; and the hope that's building on the horizon, thanks to leftist organizing and campaigning.   The post Who Profits from U.S. Wars? / The Cost of American Delusions appeared first on KPFA.
