This week, the violation and capitulation of higher education. First up, I sit down with Zachary Levenson to talk about the war on sociology and what happens when the academic governing body deems all existing sociology textbooks illegal to teach in the state of Florida. Zach highlights the purposefully vague verbiage of new policies, the anti-intellectualism fueling them, and why educators must never self-censor or comply in advance. Next up, cohost Mickey Huff sits down with Nolan Higdon to talk about his latest book MAGAcademy on how corporatism paved the way for the hostile takeover of Higher Ed. Nolan discusses the neoliberalization of academia, the purposeful devaluing of professors and treatment of students as customers that all predate the current attacks on higher ed. Nolan also warns of the dangers of compliance in advance and the smooth rhetoric of corporate takeovers wrapped in social justice ideologies. Zachary Levenson is associate professor of sociology at Florida International University. He is the author of the award-winning book Delivery as Dispossession (Oxford University Press, 2022).

First up, Mickey and Eleanor dive into some critical media literacy including AI-generated videos and images that ping our confirmation biases, making it all the more important to stay vigilant in analyzing content, regardless of whether or not we want it to be true. We also look at patterns of mis and disinformation, tools and tips for media consumers and creators, and more. Next up, Katie Jones from Fractracker joins the show to talk about the shadowy connection between data centers and fracking. Katie talks about how data centers are in many ways the new fracking boom, and are using many of the same loopholes and tactics to push through public opposition while also of course demanding a power surge, mostly coming from fossil fuels.

Lee Camp and Eleanor Goldfield dive into critical underreported stories that expose systemic violence and corruption. We start with Israel's escalating tactics, including the spraying of unknown chemical agents over Lebanon—a deliberate act of ecocide and ethnic cleansing designed to make the land uninhabitable. We also break down the false “opening” of the Rafah crossing, where brutal interrogations, theft, and violence continue to trap Palestinians in a manufactured humanitarian crisis.Also, they expose the inhumane conditions in ICE detention centers, revealed through secret notes thrown from inside a San Diego facility, comparing the reality to scenes from V for Vendetta and historic concentration camps.Finally, they unpack explosive new revelations from the Epstein files.They also celebrate powerful acts of resistance, including a massive strike by Mediterranean dockworkers blocking military cargo to Israel, and remind people of ways to directly support Gazans.My comedy news show Unredacted Tonight airs every Thursday at 7pm ET/4pm PT.

First up, cohost Mickey Huff sits down with professor of communications Dr. Steve Macek to talk about Trumps war on epistemic institutions. Dr. Macek shares specific examples of attacks on vital research that leaves millions of Americans without the necessary knowledge to address basic needs such as hunger and thirst. Mickey and Steve also dissect some deja vu news – the where are they now for stories previously uplifted by Project Censored and ignored by corporate media. Such analysis not only tracks trends in corporate media but also highlights the importance of thinking of news less as a fleeting headline but rather as continuously developing stories that require attention on a rolling rather than 24-hour blip basis. Next up, cohost Eleanor Goldfield sits down with researcher and associate director at the Eisenhower Media Network Christian Sorensen to talk about how the military is a tool of corporate capture, how the military industrial complex hurts the working class here at home, medias bedazzling of military life, and how the US empires greed actually in the long term hurts its own hegemonic objectives.

From direct attacks on the press from a fascistic federal government to the explosion of AI and the closure and consolidation of news outlets around the country, truth itself is under direct, relentless assault, as are the journalists who have committed their lives to reporting the truth about what's happening in and to our world. And the intended result of these attacks is to create a more atomized, alienated, ignorant, disempowered public that is easier to divide, control, and manipulate. In this podcast, recorded at Red Emma's Cooperative Bookstore and Cafe in Baltimore on Nov. 22, 2025, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with Mickey Huff, Eleanor Goldfield, and Mischa Geracoulis from Project Censored about the world-shaping role media play in our politics today, and about how independent journalists and the communities they serve must work together to fight back against the powerful's war on truth and truth-tellers. Guests: Project Censored website and Instagram Mickey Huff, Shealeigh Voitl, & Andy Lee Roth (Eds.), Project Censored, State of the Free Press 2025Movement Media Alliance websiteCredits: Audio Post-Production: Alina NehlichBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

Next up, Economics PHD students Shakked Noy and Aakaash Rao discuss their recent report: The Business of the Culture War which links the contemporary “culture wars” to changes in media technologies as well as economic incentives for cable news. Shakked and Aakaash discuss how their research shows that the economic drive for viewership has incentivized corporate media to turn away from actual political news and towards sensational infotainment, and how the commodification of legitimate rage leaves us dumber and more divided than ever before.

Matt and Eleanor also give some historical context to the use of the US military as a domestic police force, and how Hollywood and the stories we consume as Americans bolster these ideas of a top-down restorative violence, affecting how we think about the idea of the worlds largest military taking over our streets. Next up, author Danny Goldberg joins the show to talk about his most recent book, Liberals with Attitude: The Rodney King Beating and the Fight for the Soul of Los Angeles.

Eleanor Goldfield hosts this week's show. In the first part of the program, cohost Eleanor Goldfield welcomes back to the show US marine veteran Matthew Hoh to talk about the realities vs. the stories of the US military. How much does the oath to defend the Constitution really mean in practice? They look at Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseths recent performance and how this relates to the hierarchy of complicity within the higher ranking military brass. Matt and Eleanor also give some historical context to the use of the US military as a domestic police force, and how Hollywood and the stories we consume as Americans bolster these ideas of a top-down restorative violence, affecting how we think about the idea of the worlds largest military taking over our streets.  Next up, author Danny Goldberg joins the show to talk about his most recent book, Liberals with Attitude: The Rodney King Beating and the Fight for the Soul of Los Angeles. Danny discusses how this history can serve us in the present, how building coalitions with those we disagree with is critical work, and how using the media – even legacy media – can support our grassroots goals.

Mickey Huff and Eleanor Goldfield co-host this week's program. In the first half-hour, Mickey Huff talks with professor Omar Zahzah about his forthcoming book: Terms of Servitude. His book examines both the current Gaza genocide, and also how Palestine and the Palestinian resistance serves as a window into a global system of digital censorship against liberation struggles like that of Palestine. Then Eleanor welcomes back Kamau Franklin to talk about the book he co-edited: No Cop City, No Cop World.

In the first half-hour, we welcome back Leonardo Flores, to talk about the US' most recent escalation against Venezuela. Leo debunks the absurd US claims of drug trafficking, contextualizing them in a longer history of using drugs as a cover for violent escalation against nations in Latin America. Leo also talks about the remarkable critical media literacy of the Venezuelan people – something that the government has nurtured for almost 30 years via a varied and healthy media landscape that promotes independent and local media rather than a centralized corporate system. Next, Nolan Higdon comes back on the show to examine Artificial Intelligence through the lens of critical media literacy. Nolan highlights the importance of not leaning on AI for foundational skills such as reading comprehension and critical media literacy, notes that AI is not some superior intellect but rather a system built by vehemently anti-democratic and indeed anti-human minds. Leonardo Flores is a co-founder of the Venezuela Solidarity Network. He previously worked as an organizer with Code Pink and as an analyst with the Venezuelan Embassy in the U.S. Leonardo was born in Venezuela and maintains close ties to the social movements that have transformed the country over the past twenty-six years.

Eleanor Goldfield hosts this week's program, and dedicates the full hour to a discussion of Palestine. Her first guest, Ramzy Baroud, describes the essential role of cultural hegemony in subduing a colonized people, why Israel has failed to culturally colonize the people of Gaza, and has therefore resorted to horrific violence. He also explains how reporting by Gazans has changed the global perception of what accurate journalism really is. Next, Nikki Morse, recently returned from the West Bank, describes conditions there, notably the rising levels of harassment and attacks by Israeli settlers and soldiers, and how solidarity allies work to reinforce nonviolent resistance. ———- Ramzy Baroud is a journalist, and the editor of the Palestine Chronicle (www.palestinechronicle.com), and is the author of six books.

Eleanor Goldfield hosts this week's show. Her first guest, Shir Hever, explains what he describes as Israelis “zombie economy”, and its media establishment that isn't telling Israelis the truth about the genocide being perpetrated in nearby Gaza.

A recent study published in the Lancet medical journal estimated that these unilateral “sanctions” have claimed more than 500,000 lives worldwide each year, from malnutrition, increased infant mortality, unobtainable medical care, and other causes.
