“Missing white woman syndrome” is what Gwen Ifill called the attention that white women receive from the media and authorities when they go missing. Shouldn't we all be given the same attention? We are not asking for white women to not receive media coverage. We want everyone's case to receive attention. We want people to be found and get justice. Every person, no matter their age, sex, race, or socioeconomic status, deserves the same attention, not just from the media but also authorities.

Judy Woodruff is not done asking questions. A decorated and respected journalist, she anchored the PBS NewsHour for 15 years until she stepped down in 2022. Now, at age 79, she is traveling the country to answer: what is at the root of the division and disconnection our country faces today? And how do we fix that? To understand across different perspectives requires the ability to listen. At 79, Judy has honed this skill. In the decades Judy spent reporting on Americans and our politics (starting when Jimmy Carter declared his run for president) as well as raising her three children, she has seen enormous change in how people relate to one another. In this episode, we hear her views on the value of really listening to others and having respect, even when we might not agree with or understand, someone.

She has covered politics and other news for more than four decades at CNN, NBC, and PBS. The recipient of numerous awards, including the Peabody Journalistic Integrity Award, the Poynter Medal, an Emmy for Lifetime Achievement, and the Radcliffe Medal, she and the late Gwen Ifill were together awarded Arizona State University's Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism after Woodruff and Ifill were named co-anchors of the PBS NewsHour in 2013, marking the first time an American national news broadcast would be co-anchored by two women. For 12 years, Woodruff served as anchor and senior correspondent for CNN, where her duties included anchoring the weekday program, Inside Politics. At PBS from 1983 to 1993, she was the chief Washington correspondent for The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour.

Every year about 600,000 thousand people are reported missing in the United States per the National Missing and Unidentified Persons database.In 2022, about 34,000 people reported as actively missing were people of color. But people of color who disappear seldom get the same amount of media attention devoted to white people who go missing - especially white women and children. The late journalist Gwen Ifill coined the phrase "Missing White Woman Syndrome" to describe the media's fascination with, and detailed coverage of, the cases of missing or endangered white women - compared to the seeming disinterest in covering the disappearances of people of color.NPR's Juana Summers speaks with David Robinson II. His son, Daniel Robinson, has been missing for nearly two years. And Natalie Wilson, co-founder of the Black and Missing Foundation, who has been helping him find answers.In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.

Host Marcia Franklin talks with ABC Chief White House correspondent Martha Raddatz about national politics and the war in Iraq. Although Raddatz could stay inside the Beltway to do her job, she's made it a priority to go to Iraq, a total of 17 times at this date. She talks with Franklin about why she takes that risk, whether she's seeing any progress in that country, and about her book, "The Long Road Home," which chronicles a battle in Sadr City. The two also talk about her thoughts on the growing violence in Pakistan, a country Raddatz has reported from many times. Prior to joining ABC in 1999, Raddatz covered the Pentagon for National Public Radio for six years. Public Television viewers will recognize her as well for her regular appearances on Washington Week with Gwen Ifill. The recipient of numerous honors, including a Peabody Award and three national Emmy awards, Ms. Raddatz was in Boise as the distinguished speaker for the Idaho Humanities Council's annual event. Originally aired: 11/13/2008
Judy Woodruff will step down as anchor of the PBS NewsHour this week. Her last show will be December 30. The veteran journalist first took on the role in 2013, co-hosting the program with Gwen Ifill. When Ifill died of cancer three years later, the network tried out several replacements, but eventually gave the reins to Woodruff to guide the show on her own. In May 2018 Woodruff joined Diane on On My Mind. They talked about her start as a reporter, the changing role of journalism over her nearly 55-year career, and how a family tragedy taught her about empathy and overcoming adversity.
Gwen Ifill famously coined the expression “missing white woman syndrome” to describe our national obsession with a small subset of missing persons–largely white and female– to the exclusion of many other victims, especially persons of color. This week Gloria talks to Natalie Wilson, co-founder of The Black and Missing Foundation, Inc., a Maryland-based non-profit dedicated to searching for missing people of color when police and the media fall short. Their work is also the subject of the award-winning 4-part HBO documentary series, Black and Missing, produced by Geeta Gandbhir and Soledad O'Brien. For Catholics, this should be a pro-life issue, and one that we examine seriously. Forty percent of the about 600,000 people who went missing in 2019 were people of color — most of them Black. And Black people's cases take four times longer to resolve. Gloria and Natalie also discuss how the Black Lives Matter movement encompasses more than police violence; it extends to the issue of police neglect to investigate cases of Black persons gone missing.

Em 2004, em uma conferência de jornalistas negros, a brilhante âncora de TV estadunidense Gwen Ifill disse: eu chamo isso de síndrome de mulher branca desaparecida, o que significa que, se há uma mulher branca desaparecida, você vai cobrir isso TODOS os dias. Desde então, cientistas sociais e estudiosos de mídia nos Estados Unidos têm usado essa expressão para questionar e chamar atenção para a desproporção entre a cobertura midiática que é feita quando uma mulher branca desaparece, quando comparamos com outros tipos de desaparecimentos, como os de mulheres indígenas e negras. A expressão da Gwen Ifill já chegou até na ficção. No terceiro episódio da terceira temporada de You, da Netflix, uma mulher branca desaparece da vizinhança, inspirando uma intensa cobertura midiática. Uma personagem negra descreve a situação: ”síndrome da mulher branca desaparecida, o passatempo favorito dos Estados Unidos, ao lado do pornografia”. Inspirados por uma conversa entre Helen Rosner e Jean Murley publicada no New Yorker, sobre a síndrome da mulher branca desaparecida e o caso da Gabby Petito, uma youtuber de 22 anos, convidamos Lucas Ed, investigador da polícia civil e doutorando em psicologia social para conversarmos sobre pessoas desaparecidas.
Most people know that white roses represent purity because they are often used in weddings, and, even though the whole virginity till marriage thing has become quite passé, purity, for some odd reason, is still something that many strive for. But the white rose represents so much more than just a vain attempt at emotional perfection: youthfulness, innocence, young love, and loyalty are all symbolized by the white rose. The black rose, on the other hand, often chosen for funerals, is a symbol of death and mourning. What you may not know is that the black rose is not actually the color black, but an extremely dark shade of red or purple. But why do we assign these meanings to white and “black” flowers when all flowers represent death? I mean, you killed the rose when you picked it after all. Roses have thorns to stop us from killing them, not for irony's sake. So, really all roses and all flowers are a representation of mortality, a reminder that we will all perish. My mother hated roses of all colors for this very reason. All people, regardless of color, innocence or purity will also meet their end one day. We are the walking dead; there is no need for zombies. We are all walking, talking reminders of our inevitable meeting with death. So why is it that, when black people perish, very few take notice, but when white people meet the same fate, an entire news segments is devoted to it? Joy Reid sure did piss a lot of pretty white people with problems off when she recently said on MSNBC that, “The way this story captivated the nation has so many wondering, why not the same media attention when people of color go missing?... Well, the answer actually has a name: Missing White Woman Syndrome — the term coined by the late and great Gwen Ifill to describe the media and public fascination with missing White women like Laci Peterson or Natalee Holloway, while ignoring cases involving people of color.” White people across the world were shocked and aghast at such a statement. I mean, seriously, the nerve of that black woman on the TV talking crap about white people. How could she? What did they ever do to her? I will answer the question for you, but I wonder if you will actually listen to the answer or just huff and puff like so many pretty white people with problems do. Let's find out. “Black girls and women go missing at high rates, but that isn't reflected in news coverage of missing persons cases. In 2020, of the 268,884 girls and women who were reported missing, 90,333, or nearly 34% of them, were Black, according to the National Crime Information Center…” Oh well, I'm sure the fair and balanced, totally unbiased, super duper college educated, absolutely perfect at all times media is letting you know about this stuff, right? “In light of these numbers, the disproportionate media attention on missing white girls and women is glaring.” (NPR) Uh-oh spaghetti-o's! That's right, Joy Reid was simply telling the truth. She did not lie, but she was defamed nonetheless. She was told that she stepped out of line, that she did not display proper candor. She was not polite enough. She forgot her place. White people are never supposed to be challenged by black people, even when the black person is simply stating a fact, that is not allowed, not ever, not even on MSNBC and certainly not on Fox News. How dare she? And isn't it interesting that she too is a black woman, a black woman that was ignored and even attacked for simply stating the facts. I suppose that Joy Reid and all the other black and Indigenous women who go missing every year are just not pure and innocent enough for prime time. By the way, I'll take two dozen black roses; I hear the white roses causes sudden bursts of anger, ignorance, apathy, and dishonesty. Besides, for all the whiteness that I lack, a more perfect beauty is found in all that's black. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/morecontentplease/support
Samantha Bee sits down with journalist and host of Washington Week Yamiche Alcindor to talk about waking up to Trump tweets, meeting the legendary Gwen Ifill at the hair salon, the importance of open dialogue, and why her mom forced her to watch TV.
In the ongoing drama surrounding the murder of Gabrielle Petito, Bob realized that the media are telling us everything under the sun, except for what matters most.TEDDY ROOSEVELT: Surely there never was a fight better worth making than the one which we are in.GARFIELD: Welcome to Bully Pulpit. That was Teddy Roosevelt. I'm Bob Garfield with Episode 10: Airing Dirty Laundrie. GABRIELLE PETITO: Hello, hello, and good morning. It is really nice and sunny today. It's only ten o'clock in the morning, but it rained all afternoon yesterday…oh, my God!GARFIELD: That's from a YouTube post a few weeks ago by wannabe travel vlogger Gabrielle Petito, documenting her cross-country van journey with her boyfriend Brian Laundrie. We see them hiking, taking in sunsets, eating camp-style, hugging and kissing and frolicking, doing cartwheels on Santa Monica beach — two attractive young people living the dream.That the dreamy footage obscured a gathering nightmare, of course, is by now, hardly news to you.FOX NEWS REPORTER: Yeah, good morning Todd and Gillian. Brian Laundrie and Gabby Petito were on a cross-country trip they were documenting for their YouTube series, but on September 1st, Brian returned home alone and has been hiding out at his parents' house, right behind me.Yesterday, North Port police named him a person of interest in this case.GARFIELD: Now, people go missing all the time in this country. One this month was Gregory Martin, a 70-year-old Buford, Georgia man, afflicted with dementia, who strayed away from his optometrist's office. You did not see anything about him on the news before he turned up safe and sound. You probably haven't heard of Quawan Charles, who was 15 when he went missing last year from his rural Louisiana home. If you were to Google “missing teenagers 2020,” you wouldn't find his picture. A lot of white schoolgirls, not a lot of black male schoolboys. His disappearance did not captivate the nation, or even the local police.LOCAL TV REPORTER: The family called the Baldwin Police Department and St. Mary Parish Sheriff's office to report him missing. Although the family asked that an amber alert be issued, officers declined to do so. The family claims the police downplayed their concerns, including speculating Charles may simply be attending a football game and not answering his phone. Charles' body was found days later, on November 3rd, in a wooded area about thirty minutes from his hometown. GARFIELD: And incredibly, in 2019, more than 5,590 Native American women were reported missing. You cannot name a single one of them. But when I say Natalee Holloway, or Jaycee Dugard, Elizabeth Smart, Laci Peterson, Chandra Levy — all of whom were TV news fodder for weeks or months at a time over the past couple of decades — you can most likely tell their heartbreaking stories, most likely in intimate detail. This is called “Missing White Woman Syndrome,” a term coined twenty years ago by the late journalist Gwen Ifill, and lately invoked by the New York Times and others in a “here-we-go-again” sort of way. This was Good Morning America: GOOD MORNING AMERICA REPORTER: Gabby Petito is one of so many reported missing each year. At the end of 2020, the FBI had over 89,000 active missing persons cases. 45% of those cases: people of color. Petito's story has renewed debate about which cases get attention and the media's seeming infatuation with missing white women. GARFIELD: If anything about that surprises you — I mean, anything — I don't even know what to say. Lookit: by American TV-news standards, the fact that Chandra Levy and Laci Peterson were brunette was practically affirmative action. So, of coursethe fate of skinny, blonde Gabby Petito, unlike Quawon Charles, has gripped the country as an irresistible true-crime mystery played out in real time. Clue by clue. Revelation by revelation. Twist by twist. Newsbreak by newsbreak — tragedy as infotainment, costumed (with all the obligatory sobriety and furrowed anchor brows) as journalism.LOCAL TV REPORTER: That's right Keith, good evening to you. North Port police admitted this search warrant last week. The detective writes that Gabby Petito's phone had been shut off for at least fifteen days. The investigator also says...TRAVEL BLOGGER 1: This is most definitely Gabby Petito's Ford transit van. TRAVEL BLOGGER 2: And I slowed it down, so you can possibly see it a little bit better.ABC NEWS REPORTER: In the last 24 hours, we've gotten more information on the final days leading up to Gabby's disappearance. Police just released audio of a 911 call out of Utah, where the caller reported seeing a domestic fight between Gabby and Brian on August 12th...CLARK COUNTY 911 CALL: “We drove by and the gentleman was slapping the girl.”“He was slapping her?”“Yes. And then we stopped, they ran up and down the sidewalk, he proceeded to hit her, hopped in the car, and they drove off.”ABC NEWS REPORTER: Police in Utah pulled the couple over last month, after responding to calls of a domestic incident while they were road tripping across the country. Officers said Petito was crying...POLICE BODY CAM: “What's your guys' names?”“Gabby.”“I'm Brian.” “Gabby, Brian. Ok. What's going on? Why are you crying?” “I'm not crying. We've just been fighting this morning.”FBI PRESSER: Human remains were discovered consistent with the description of Gabrielle “Gabby” Petito.CNN REPORTER: The news coming as the search is intensifying for Gabby Petito's fiance, Brian Laundrie, whose parents told police he disappeared a week ago today.LOCAL TV REPORTER: Yesterday, they, along with the FBI and several other agencies, spent the weekend scouring through the Carlton Reserve at the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park. They have not found anything yet. The search ended just after six pm last night. North Port police have yet to tell us if they plan to resume that search there today, but I can tell you it is a very large, dense place with lots of shrubs, so it will take some time to get through.LOCAL TV REPORTER: Detective work, DNA and digital foots prints. The FBI is fanning out and zeroing in. From a North Port family home to Wyoming.GARFIELD: Gabby's death is obviously an unspeakable tragedy for her, for her loved ones, and for the loved ones of Brian Laundrie. For almost everyone else on the planet, it's merely pulp non-fiction — undoubtedly destined to be formally Hollywoodized in a four-part streaming series. Which, wholly apart from the implicit racism, is tragic itself. There are deep problems in this world, politically and environmentally, and the media and audience both have invested their scarce time resources in a morbid drama that offers virtually no significance, no insight, no meaning to anyone but the principals. There is one flicker of possibility, about which more in a moment, but I need to remind you what all-Gabby-all-the-time has squeezed out of the news.VALERIE MASON: With further warming in the coming years, we expect to see new extremes that are unprecedented in magnitude, frequency, timing, or in regions that have never encountered those types of extremes.GARFIELD: That was climate scientist Valerie Mason-Delmotte, co-chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a couple of weeks ago, joining the UN General Assembly in declaring Code Red for Humanity.ABC NEWS REPORTER: The report's authors are essentially sending the world's leaders a final wake-up call: Curb emissions and dramatically reduce consumption, or face a world that is fundamentally different.GARFIELD: Yeah, that lasted one news cycle. One. The end of life on Earth as we know it. One news cycle.Oh, we're awash in coverage of national politics and the latest on Trump's every utterance, including talking in his sleep, but the death spiral of the media business has meant vastly shrunken newsrooms, vanishing local coverage, empty statehouse bureaus — and the biggest stories in the history of the planet treated like wheat germ occasionally to be sprinkled on the Trump-ruptions.CNN REPORTER: Trump sent a letter riddled with lies to Georgia's Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, asking him to decertify the results in Georgia, citing all sorts of debunked claims. GARFIELD: Celebrity crap.REPORTER: The Crown's Emmy nominated actress, Emma Corrin, made a bizarre fashion statement in a strapless frock and bonnet, quite a different look from her Princess Diana role.GARFIELD: And anti-vaccination a******s disrupting school board meetings.ANTI-VAXXERS: Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!GARFIELD: To which we can now add the story of Gabby Petito, who went on a travel adventure seeking fame, and achieved it, posthumously, like some sort of sick cosmic joke.But, as I said, a glimmer. A glimmer of something of value to be drawn from the morbid fascination with this mystery — namely, that it is not especially mysterious. Because as we comb through the endless clues and tidbits gathered by investigators, the press and random online civilians, we discover lurking within this saga a lesson.You'll recall the traffic stop, by Utah park police, who had seen the couple's van speeding erratically. The stop lasted 1 hour and 17 minutes, and the bodycam footage displays remarkably engaged and conscientious cops trying to get to the bottom of the couple's argument, in which Brian got scratched on the face and arms and Gabby had her face squeezed like a dog whose owner is trying to shut it up. What the police discovered, from both subjects, was that the two frequently triggered one another, leading to violent arguments that sometimes got physical. Brian said Gabby was very anxious and emotional and, you know, the girl crazy. And Gabby said, it's true. This led to a piece of advice from one officer to a crying Gabrielle. The relationship, he said, was toxic, and dangerous.POLICE OFFICER: It may be bad for your soul, just saying. I'm not telling you what to do with your life, but if you know you have anxiety, look at the situations you can get in, you know what I mean? Now, we're not here to be mean to you or anything but you know, there's a first time and then it usually...GARFIELD: And then, usually it gets worse. Because the pathology of domestic violence is a pathology of repeated episodes spiraling ever downward. If Brian was mishandling her in a speeding vehicle on unfamiliar mountain roads, the worst was surely yet to come. This is the lesson — the universal lesson — to be drawn from this horrifying saga. There are lovers' spats and there is battering and the difference, the fatal difference, is often on display. Every parent and every sibling and every friend of every woman — not to mention the cops who get called to the scene of a domestic — should be vigilant for these signs and be prepared to intervene before it is too late.But did that single salient issue dominate the news coverage? No. We have 24/7 on the search for Brian Laundrie. But to be reminded of the real stakes here, I had to happen upon a Facebook post, from an author named Julie Perkins Cantrell, who in a now viral message codified the thirty lessons of the Gabby Petito tragedy, culminating in this: “When we see someone at her emotional end during a domestic dispute, we shouldn't assume that she's crazy. We shouldn't buy into the false narrative given by the abuser. We shouldn't believe the cover-up story given by the target, who has been conditioned to carry all the blame and shame. And we shouldn't assume they're going to be okay.”All of America now knows Brian Laundrie is a suspect-- the only suspect -- in Gabby's murder. What we haven't been informed of by the media — but what we should internalize — is another Code Red for Humanity: the murderous ending of the online Van Life Journey was all too foreseeable before the couple even backed out of their Florida driveway.All right, we're done here.

We may even ask you to join us on our weekly Linkedin Live chat show, #ThirstyThursday. Podcast Wars - The Rise of the Rewatch The cult hit TV show, Friday Night Lights, is the focus of a new 'rewatch' podcast, hosted by two of its stars Derek Phillips and Stacey Oristano, where they'll be sharing the juicy scoop, dishing out the gossip and revealing previously unknown behind-the-scenes moments. This format of podcast - where stars of a show literally rewatch each episode then press record and chat - isn't new. In fact versions of it are popping up everywhere. So why are they so popular? Well, we get to hear about the fun and scandalous stuff we didn't know (and didn't know we needed to know), and it feeds the fans' love and nostalgia for the show. So what's the point for the creators? Streaming, people. It's all about getting the fans to go rewatch too...and make more money. We're here for it - you know we are obsessed with the repurpose! The Leafs try to turn over a new...you know. (Does writing a lot about sports make us sportier? We think so. It's called osmosis, people.) This year, opening day for the Toronto Maple Leafs was newly coined Marketing Day in an attempt to change the narrative after yet another disappointing post-season (which last spring, when the Leafs exited after the first round of playoffs there was more than usual social media trolling / burning of jerseys). Now the Leafs are always going to be able to fill seats - this is Canada, after all - but as stated in this article, "The team is not worried about selling jerseys or tickets; it is selling a message; the key points are hope, optimism and belief.” Hopefully there will be a lot of believers out there - but there should be plenty of Beliebers, anyway, as Justin and his new clothing line, Drew, are collaborating with the team to create some truly Canadian designs. Don't get the vaccine Marketing win of the week: on Sunday outside a stadium in Charlotte, NC where the Carolina Panthers were playing, a truck drove around with a stark message: “Don't get vaccinated!” At first glance this looked like a typical anti-vaxxer ploy, until you looked closer and realized the sponsor of this message was “Wilmore Funeral Home”. Turns out there's no such place. And of if you went to the advertised website, you found a single page with the text “Get vaccinated now. If not, see you soon” linking to a vaccine appointment registry and FAQ page. It turns out this stunt was pulled off by a local marketing agency and any actual effect this will have on getting anti-vaxxers to change their minds is questionable. But like us, they are sick of the false narratives and want to make a statement (and maybe have some fun trolling the anti-v crowd!) Missing White Woman Syndrome The internet and the media has been in a frenzy the last couple of weeks about the story of Gabby Petito's disappearance and murder...a fever known as "Missing White Woman Syndrome". The term was coined by PBS news anchor Gwen Ifill in the early 2000s about the obsession and attention given to white women who go missing or are murdered, while there are thousands of POC and indigenous women also missing. In fact, did you know that murder is the 3rd leading cause of death of indigenous women in the US? Meanwhile we all know the tragic stories and names of murdered white women like Laci Peterson and Natalee Holloway thanks to the huge amount of media surrounding the cases. Not to diminish what has happened to Gabby and other white women, but it's very unfair that so many other women have been murdered and we haven't batted an eye. We're so glad to see this vital conversation happening. Annie Murphy's private parts go pubic. I mean public. After famously playing ditzy Alexis Rose in Schitt's Creek, then delving into something a little darker in Kevin Can F**ck Himself, Annie Murphy is taking us on a journey to a much deeper place. Partnering with Phexxi, a brand new hormone-free birth control gel, Annie stars in an hilarious, innuendo-filled commercial that happens to be set, well…inside her vagina. This happens to be a luxurious place where ain't nobody got time for traditional, hormonal, mood-swing-inducing birth control. We're not surprised to find out this genius ad was thought up by an all-female creative team, checking all the boxes for female empowerment. For these stories and more on Facebook's sketchy moves, the unfair demonization of the lovely Rosemary Barton, and Joan Rivers, who lives rent-free in our heads, listen to the full episode!

In 2014, Sara Just was brought in to run one of the most storied newscasts, in one of the country's most storied institutions – NewsHour on PBS. As Executive Producer she's revitalized the show, presided over double-digit growth, and led the team through the shocking passing of co-anchor Gwen Ifill in 2016. She came in with 25 years of experience at ABC News, along the way picking up 16 Emmys and 6 Peabodys, and raising her two sons. I caught up with her at home (these days also a newsroom) on how she got into TV in the first place, balancing a family with a relentless nightly news schedule, and what she would tell her 20 year-old self.
Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 69th episode of "VideoFuzzy," reporting the progress I've made in cataloging more than 2,900 VHS transfers and digital recordings. In this installment, titled "Belligerent Optimism," comments on "Grey's Anatomy" segue into overarching themes, and in milestone news, as of this episode I've cataloged Disc 1000 in my Classic Collection! I posted a "throwback Thursday" pic on my VideoFuzzy Facebook page of me and that disc from when I first burned it in April 2009 to when I finally cataloged it last month. Check it out! In Corrections, the release date on the next James Bond, "No Time to Die," has been pushed to next year sometime. Also, I admit to cultural appropriation at times in this production, slipping into voice and characters in my podcast, impressions and other instances. I try to limit the inappropriateness of these instances, but I am aware of them, and if something sounds wrong, please contact me. I'm always trying to do better. In Old Business, I wanted to highlight and celebrate other aspects of comedian Sarah Silverman's work, and wish her a happy 50th in December. In my Friday Night Feature, I find a strong episode of "Grey's Anatomy" on disc 976, centered on a death row inmate who is expressing contrition and a wish that his organs, scheduled for termination at the hand of the state, save a young boy in need of a liver transplant. I pulled up a past episode for some background on the story arcs this fifth-season episode, "Stairway to Heaven," resolves, closing on a stark realization for Izzy Stevens in hallucinating her late boyfriend Denny Duquette. In cross connections, I am struck by how the realities of cancer have touched, darkened, textured and destroyed lives of patients, survivors, friends and families throughout human history. My show title is from an interview by late Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who succumbed to cancer recently. I noted several storylines I'd traced in discs from this set like "Grey's Anatomy," "Nip/Tuck" and "Battlestar Galactica" and other shows in my collection, together with such high-profile losses of Ginsburg, Gwen Ifill, Richard Hatch, Eddie Van Halen and Diana Rigg. In more conventional cross connections, I look at Eric Stolz in "Grey's Anatomy," Dina Meyer in "Nip/Tuck," Gena Rowlands and Marc Vann in "Monk," Andy Richter in "Bones," Danny Strong in "Leverage," Maggie Siff in ABC's "Life on Mars" reboot, Mira Sorvino and Omar Sharif in NBC miniseries "The Last Templar," Tom Irwin in "24" and "LOST," and oh WOW there were just a ton of cross-connections in the office dramedy "Trust Me," including Eric McCormick, Tom Cavanaugh, Tim Russ, Jason O'Mara, Adam Scott, Monica Potter, Griffon Dunn and Rhea Seehorn. I close out by tracing a Golden Thread on Chase Kim, appearing in my recording of "Leverage" on disc 1000. In my classic VHS-to-DVD collection, comments on an episode of "Fringe" open onto a Fond Reflection on the recent passing of Diana Rigg. On a related note, a fan posted this video celebrating the vivacious Mrs. Emma Peel. Also, I've archived a recording from the inauguration of Barack Obama across four discs, with comments on the season 4 finale of "The West Wing," "Battlestar Galactica," "Nip/Tuck" and "South Park," Fox Movie Channel's presentation of "Looking for Richard," and the Turner Classic Movies presentation of "Annie Hall." In my Current direct-to-DVD recordings, comments on "Fargo," "Archer," Syfy's presentation of "Dead Still," IFC's presentation of "Eyes Wide Shut" and the Sundance presentation of "The Green Mile." Plus I trace the rather eye-popping body of work by actor Steven Tobolowsky. Finally, I have updated my Facebook and podcast page to include a "top ten" episode guide for people looking for a quick read-in on this blog and podcast effort. Enjoy!

Political analyst Joy-Ann Reid is making television history as she becomes the first woman of color to anchor a prime-time news show on MSNBC and the only Black woman currently anchoring a prime-time news show on any of the major networks. The last Black woman to host a prime-time network news show was Gwen Ifill, who, along with Judy Woodruff, was a co-anchor on the PBS NewsHour until her death at age 61 in 2016. Joy-Ann’s new show will take over the primetime slot once held by Chris Matthews’ Hardball, and will be based out of Washington, D.C. Joy also has a best-selling new book: The Man Who Sold America: Trump and the Unraveling of the American Story (Harper Collins, 2019), was published in June and is a New York Times best seller. She is the author of the book Fracture: Barack Obama, the Clintons and the Racial Divide (William Morrow/Harper Collins, 2015) and the co-editor, with Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne, of We Are the Change We Seek: The Speeches of Barack Obama (Bloomsbury, 2016). Reid’s columns and articles have appeared in The New York Times, The Guardian, The Miami Herald, New York Magazine and The Daily Beast. She has previously worked in local TV news, as a talk radio producer and host, and in politics as a Florida press secretary for America Coming Together (2004) and a Florida press aide for the Barack Obama campaign (2008). As the former managing editor of TheGrio.com, Reid led a staff of 12 young journalists in exploring stories and issues of importance to African-Americans. After a stint with The Grio from 2011 to 2014, she was tapped to host her first branded cable news show: The Reid Report, a daily news program on MSNBC. In 2014, she took the helm of the Saturday 10 a.m. to noon block with “AM Joy.” The daughter of a college professor mom, Reid taught a course on “race, gender and media” at Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Communications’ New York City annex from 2017 through 2018. Reid graduated from Harvard University with a concentration in film in 1991. She and her husband Jason own a documentary film production company. They reside in New York and have three children.

You might know her from MSNBC as AM-JOY, but now, Joy-Ann Reid is getting her own show, making her the first Black woman in the host chair on prime time TV since Gwen Ifill. On Today's Show:Joy-Ann Reid, MSNBC political analyst, host of the new show "The REIDOUT" and the author of The Man Who Sold America: Trump and the Unraveling of the American Story (William Morrow, 2019), discusses her career, her new show and being the only Black woman news host in prime time.
The idea behind this show is pretty simple: We invite scholars, makers, and professionals out to brunch for an informal conversation about their work, and then we turn those brunches into a podcast.It’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it.For this, our season 3 finale, we’re turning the virtual interview chair around on Notre Dame alum Robert Costa, national political reporter for The Washington Post and the moderator and managing editor of Washington Week on PBS.While Robert’s work is the news, he and host Ted Fox talked more about the craft of journalism generally—and political journalism specifically—than everything going on in our country and our world in 2020. We figure you have much better outlets for content like that, such as Robert’s own reporting and that of the journalists from diverse organizations and backgrounds he talks to on Washington Week.That said, the health disparities magnified by the coronavirus and the recent examples of police brutality are just the latest reminders of how much we need the work and perspectives of African-American journalists in particular. So while it’s not directly related to this episode, we wanted to use this spot to recommend you follow Richard Jones and Victoria St. Martin, formerly of The New York Times and The Washington Post, respectively, and currently shaping the next generation of journalists through their work with students at Notre Dame. We’ve put links to both of their Twitters in the notes below.And speaking of episode notes, there’s also a video of the late Tim Russert there that you’re going to hear Robert talk about. It’s one of many great stories he shared on pursuing a career as a reporter in the nation’s capital during a time of rapid change in the news industry, a journey that for him has included succeeding the legendary Gwen Ifill at PBS. He also used the provost office at Notre Dame to illustrate how anonymous sourcing works. You know, in case we ever really need to get anything off our chests.Take good care, and we’ll be talking to you again soon. Because sources close to the podcast tell us there might be some bonus episodes on the way this summer.LINKSRichard Jones’ Twitter: @richard_g_jonesVictoria St. Martin’s Twitter: @VStMartinRobert Costa’s Twitter: @costareportsVideo Excerpts of Tim Russert’s Red Smith Lecture: “When Politicians Meet the Press”Full Transcript of Russert Lecture

According to Mic.com and Newsone.com approximately 64,000 black girls and women are missing in the united states. Where are they? Who are they? What is Law Enforcements theory on their disappearances? Where is the media? Where are all these people? How can so many people be missing in a country where video cameras are everywhere. Can you name 5 missing Black Women, Hispanic Women or Poor Women of any race? Probably not, unless you’re a family member. Don’t feel alone, the media can’t either. There doesn’t seem to be a big push to find these women, why not? When Natalie Holloway disappeared on May 30, 2005 in Aruba while on a class trip. Media coverage was nonstop for over 2 years. According to Statista Numbers: Provided by NCIC for 2018 Missing White People 362,988 and Missing Black People 207, 394 Of the reported missing persons 211,906 were men and 239,847 are women Because the media simply does not report on missing black women frustration rose within the black community the sense that these cases were being ignored seemed like another example of "missing white woman syndrome" — a phrase coined by Gwen Ifill, the late PBS anchor. Missing white woman syndrome is a phenomenon noted by social scientists and media commentators of the extensive media coverage, especially in television, of missing person cases involving young, white, upper-middle-class women or girls. This Saturday, July 13th on Behind the Blue Curtain we’ll talk about this phenomenon. The call-in number is 646-716-4621 and press 1 on your phone if you’d like to add to the discussion.

President Trump had been in office for three months when he called Washington Post reporter Robert Costa on his cellphone to inform him that a Republican bill to overhaul the healthcare system was dead. The previous October, when a tape of Trump talking crudely in 2005 to “Access Hollywood” host Billy Bush threatened to derail his 2016 campaign, Trump gave his first interview to the entrenched journo. Again and again the President has demonstrated his trust in the 32-year-old journalist by speaking to him on the record, despite Costa's refusal to shy away from reporting unflattering developments within the administration. In 2017, Robert replaced Gwen Ifill as the host of PBS's “Washington Week” after the groundbreaking journalist died from endometrial cancer the previous year. In this installment of TrumpWatch, Jesse talks to Robert about the ways that Washington, DC has changed during the Trump presidency.

In 2017, Robert replaced Gwen Ifill as the host of PBS's “Washington Week” after the groundbreaking journalist died from endometrial cancer the previous year. In this installment of TrumpWatch, Jesse talks to Robert about the ways that Washington, DC has changed during the Trump presidency.
President Trump had been in office for three months when he called Robert Costa on his cellphone to tell the Washington Post national political reporter about the first major legislative loss of the new administration; a Republican bill to overhaul the healthcare system was dead. The previous October, when a tape of Trump talking crudely 11 years earlier to “Access Hollywood” host Billy Bush threatened to derail his 2016 campaign, he gave his first interview to Costa. Again and again the President has demonstrated his trust in the 32-year-old journalist by speaking to him on the record, despite Costa’s refusal to shy away from reporting unflattering developments within the administration. Selected to take over for legendary journalist Gwen Ifill as the host of PBS's “Washington Week” after her tragic death from endometrial cancer in late 2016, Costa was a natural choice. His penchant for firsthand reporting, an enviable ability to slash through complicated stories to find the critical kernels and his willingness to question mainstream news narratives have enabled him to powerfully continue Ifill’s legacy. Fresh off a three-week hiatus for WBAI’s winter fund drive, “TrumpWatch” host Jesse Lent talks to Robert Costa about the ways that Washington DC has changed culturally under the Trump presidency and where he sees the administration heading in the coming months.
Judy Woodruff, award-winning broadcast journalist, has spent over four decades covering Washington for PBS, CNN, and NBC. She currently is the anchor of the PBS NewsHour airing across the country on PBS stations each week-night. She has seen monumental changes in journalism and how news is delivered over her career. One change is the role of women. In 2013, Woodruff and her colleague Gwen Ifill were the first two women to anchor a major newscast together. Ifill died in 2016 leaving Woodruff alone at the anchor desk and leaving a hole in Woodruff’s life. Woodruff explains that the PBS NewsHour, which is gaining audience numbers, is committed to thorough and accurate reporting in all of its stories underscored by a sense of fairness and balance. She says, too often today, that people only want to hear news from their own political perspective – conservatives watch FOX News and liberals watch MSNBC. Instead, PBS tries to be neutral and attract all audiences interested in deep reporting. Instead of having screaming pundits and yelling arguments among panel members, the NewsHour features veteran commentators David Brooks from the New York Times and political operative Mark Shields. Brooks and Shields express different views but do so in a civil and respectful manner, according to Woodruff. She also cites the explosion of social media as changing the news business. Instead of just preparing a story to be broadcast in the news segment, reporters now need to write the story for the website and add links to appropriate background documents. They also need to pepper social media with links to their work and real time updates. As a result of technological changes, news consumers get more news today than any time in history, Woodruff says.
The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 6th and final study session on Gwen Ifill's 2009 bestseller, The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama. A pioneering journalist and anchor at PBS, Ifill, 61, died from cancer in November of 2016. Ifill was one of the lone black female mainstream journalists, and she consistently highlighted Racism during her journalism career. In fact, White Supremacy likely contributed to her passing at such a young age. During last week's session, Ifill analyzed Obama's 2008 tightrope navigation of Rev. Jeremiah Wright's fiery sermon. Tellingly, the president used the jargon of racial "progress" to rebuke Rev. Wright as someone who failed to concede how much things have "improved" for Victims of Racism. Peddling the "racial progress" of the country has been a staple talking point during Obama's tenure in the White House. Ifill also detailed former Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick. She discussed an incident where Patrick was racially attacked by a group of Whites. Ifill failed to include Patrick's commentary on the incident: "The worst that happened was that someone, a couple people, threw their cigarette butts at me. Nobody actually hit me, but you still feel wounded. And if you're not real careful, you can feel ashamed too... . You feel ashamed of who you are -- and what you are -- which is a disaster." Listeners should contrast Ifill's presentation of Racism with the pending Trump Administration. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943#

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the fifth study session on Gwen Ifill's 2009 bestseller, The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama. A New York Times bestselling author, journalist and anchor at PBS, Ifill, 61, died from cancer in November 2016. Ifill was one of the lone black female mainstream journalists, and she regularly used her platform as a journalist to interogate the problem of Racism. In fact, White Supremacy likely contributed to her passing at such a young age. During last week's session, Ifill provided a comprehensive inspection of former Newark, New Jersey mayor and current United States Senator Corey Booker. A Stanford alumnus, who, like President Barack Obama, has a White parent, Booker is noted for having "a distinguished and distinctly nonghetto pedigree." The chapter details Booker as a charismatic new breed of black politician who recognizes that "race" remains a major problem. However, Ifill also detailed Booker's reputation for disparaging black people "in front of elite White audiences." The book also examined racial identity. However, the meaning of being "White" was ignored. Ifill invested a sizable amount of time reviewing the notion of "being black enough." At times, The Breakthrough seems to take African Americans to task for adjudicating the "blackness" of elected officials like President Obama or Senator Booker. But Ifill conceded a core component of black suspicion of "biracial" people: "Many white voters are clearly more comfortable thinking of them as half white." Listeners should contrast Ifill's presentation of Racism with the pending Trump Administration.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. We'll use these sessions to hone our use of words as tools to reveal truth, neutralize White people. We'll examine news reports from the past seven days and - hopefully - promote a constructive dialog. #ANTIBLACKNESS Mercifully, 2016 cocludes. Gus T. Renegade anticipated this would be an atrocious 12 months on the plantation. The passing of Dr. Afeni Shakur, Gwen Ifill, Natalie Cole, Muhammad Ali, Prince, George Curry, Phife Dawg, Dr. Delbert Blair, Maurice White, Dr. Frances Cress Welsing and numerous others made for a year of crushing loss. However, White Supremacists don't pause for sorrow or Christmas. In fact, a White EMT worker, Steve Sampson, used the holiday season to concoct a lie about black hoodlums looting his presents. He was eventually arrested for making a false report. And when Whites weren't lying, they put in overtime to get black people in the theaters. Denzel Washington, Taraji P. Henson, Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer confiscated the silver screen with August Wilson's Fences and Hidden Figures - based on black female geniuses who worked for NASA and helped Whites invade space. Both features explicitly address Racism. But, the constructive value of both movies is questionable. Fences delivers a hefty heap of black disfunction, while Hidden Figures glorifies helping Whitefolks - with some of the very cast from the 2011 hit,The Help. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p
The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 4th study session on Gwen Ifill's 2009 bestseller, The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama. An award-winning journalist and anchor at PBS, Ifill, 61, died from cancer in November of this year. Ifill was one of the lone black female mainstream journalists, and she often discussed Racism during her journalism career. In fact, White Supremacy likely contributed to her death at such a young age. During last week's broadcast, Ifill referenced Shirley Chisholm, the first black female to run for president, and many other white and non-white females who maintain that gender is a bigger problem than Racism. However, Ifill cited hard data - including Department of Labor statics showing that more than two-thirds of all bachelor's degrees earned by African Americans are awarded to women, that suggests White Supremacy dominates. Ifill also examined the political ambitions of Artur Davis, who hoped to become the first black governor of Alabama. Davis thought he could follow in President Obama's triumph and rely on a sizable portion of White voters to support him. He was incorrect. After the publication of The Breakthrough, Davis lost his 2010 gubernatorial bid during the Democratic primary and eventually bolted to join the Republican party in 2012. At the time this book was published, Ifill considered Jesse Jackson Jr. another example of the new breed of successful black politicians. Jackson publicly clashed with his father, and supported Obama's rise the White House. Following the book's publication, Jackson's was convicted of financial improprieties and sentenced to federal prison. Listeners should contrast how Ifill's presentation of Racism with the pending Trump Administration.

2016 was a crazy year. It took names and literally keeps taking names. George Michael didn't deserve, not on Christmas Day! Rio almost got through with the Olympics without any incidents but Ryan Lochte refused to let them be great. We found out Blue Ivy doesn’t play with North but "dem babies" sure do and for that Kanye weeps. Black millennials finally saw themselves reflected on the silver screen in Atlanta and Insecure. We learned that America refuses to miss an opportunity to one up the Brits, and that the resilience of the Native spirit is not one to be fuqqed with. #StandingRock We mourned the lives of those lost in terrible tragedies in Aleppo, France, California, Dallas, and Orlando. We could not ignore the countless black bodies slain by aggressive police force to fever pitch summer 2016. We said too many RIPs for legends like Craig Sager, Gwen Ifill, Fidel Castro, Muhammed Ali, Prince, David Bowie, Alan Thicke, Zsa Zsa Gabor, China Machado, George Michael, and more. And we personally cancelled about as many living celebs, so much so, we had to stay vigilant about keeping with our prayer candle lit for brother Kanye. While 2016 felt like hot garbage most of the times, it was low key lit as hell! So inspired by the TIME's Person of the Year, we’re doing our picks for who/what what was the best, worst, weirdest, pettiest.. of 2016. Let's set fire to the rain in 2017 and thank 2016 for the lessons learned! Be Great! Recorded Tuesday December 20, 2016.
The Context of White Supremacy welcomes the return of Dr. Niyana Rasayon. A behavioral neuroscientist, neuropsychologist, professor, author and father, Dr. Rasayon is also a North Carolina A&T alumnus and one of our listeners' favorite guests. We've previously examined his published work, including The Awakening: OMG The President Is Black and Reality Check: A Manuel for the Hue-Man Octahedron & The Mystery of Melain. Dr. Rasayon was gracious enough to step away from the yuletide festivities to review the gruesome year of 2016. Countless black people who devoted their existence to healing black people and confronting White Supremacy did not see this year's conclusion. Prince, Muhammad Ali, George Curry, Natalie Cole, Phife Dawg, Gwen Ifill, Maurice White, Dr. Delbert Blair, Dr. Afeni Shakur, Dr. Sebi, and Dr. Frances Cress Welsing all transitioned this year. President Barack Obama is still alive, but he will not occupy the Oval Office in 2017. We'll ask Dr. Rasayon how President-elect Trump impacts how we understand Pres. Obama's tenure as Commander In Chief. We'll also review the federal conviction of Dylann Storm Roof. The White Terrorist slaughtered nine black worshipers - including State Senator Rev. Clementa Pinckney, after having methodically planned the attack for months. Now, many White and non-white people are begging for this Racist's White life to be spared.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 3rd study session on Gwen Ifill's 2009 bestseller, The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama. An award-winning journalist and anchor at PBS, Ifill, 61, died from cancer in November of this year. Ifill was one of a small number of black female mainstream journalists, and she frequently her platoform as a journalist to address Racism. In fact, White Supremacy likely contributed to her passing at such a young age. During last week's segment, Ifill covered the differing black opinions on Obama's 2008 presidential campaign as well as the senator's daunting task of "straddling" the "racial divide." She catalogs how Obama had to appease White voters by rejecting Louis Farrakhan, admonishing Rev. Jeremiah Wright, periodically castigating black people, and "stiff arming" Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton. Ifill also discussed how Racist Women weaponized feminism to upbraid those who would support a non-white candidate over Hillary Clinton. Interestingly, Ifill references a myriad of black scholars and journalists - Melissa Harris-Perry, Alice Walker - and even Admitted White Supremacist Timothy Wise, who all recognized how a significant population of White Women were, as Wise wrote, "Not thinking and acting as women," but as White Supremacists. It's stunning that eight years later, after President-elect Trump's victory we are again "surprised" that White Women's allegiance to White Supremacy made a substantial impact in the voting booth. Listeners should contrast how Ifill's presentation of Racism with the pending Trump Administration. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943#

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 2nd study session on Gwen Ifill's 2009 bestseller, The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama. An award-winning journalist and anchor at PBS, Ifill, 61, died from cancer in November of this year. Ifill was one of the few black female mainstream journalists, and she courageously acknowledged that Racism impacted her career. It may have been a element in her passing at such a young age. During the first week's session, we noted that the title of the book contained the word "race," not Racism. This precise difference often reflects a conscious or unconscious attempt to obscure or dilute White pathology and commitment to Racism/White Supremacy. In the early stages of The Breakthrough, Ifill suggests that the election of Barack Obama represented tangible proof that some Whites might be willing to part with Racism. Ifill posits that rockstar black politicians like President Obama, Senator Corey Booker, and Governor Duval Patrick represent the evolution of black political powerbrokers who don't overtly discuss Racism and have the necessary credentials to awe White voters. Ifill writes that civil rights gadflies like Jesse Jackson Sr. and Al Sharpton frighten White people, and a part of President Obama's success was keeping them at bay. Listeners should contrast Ifill's presentation of Racism with the pending Trump Administration. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943#
The Context of White Supremacy hosts the premier study session on Gwen Ifill's 2009 publication, The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama. An award-winning journalist and anchor at PBS, Ifill, 61, died from cancer in November of this year. Ifill was a black female journalist in a field dominated by White men, and she admitted that Racism impacted her career. It may have been a contributing factor in the deterioration of her health. In The Breakthrough, Ifill deconstructs the significance of Barack Obama winning the 2008 presidential election. Her analysis looks at the history and evolution of White Supremacy in this part of the world and how Racism became a fundamental issue in the election. She explores the kerfuffle involving Pres. Obama's relationship with Rev. Jeremiah Wright and how having a White parent influenced perception and opinion of the Illinois senator. We hope this reading will honor Ifill's life and work, and we'll take the chance to compare the beginning of the "Obama Administration" with the rise of President-elect Donald J. Trump. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943#

Ifill also became a best-selling author in 2009 with the publication of her book, The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama. “A journalist’s role, a true journalist – not just someone who’s there to stir the pot – is to try to find out more, to have people walk away thinking ‘I didn’t know that, I know more now’. And everybody doesn’t rise to that level”, says Ifill.
