In this episode, host Ayush Tewari is joined by Newslaundry's Akanksha Kumar and Anna Priyadarshini.The conversation starts with the reporters sharing the bizarre news stories of the week, from an Indonesian woman claiming a gust of wind made her pregnant to the Indian higher education regulator UGC asking universities to encourage students to write a “cow science” examination.The discussion begins with Anna's report on the verdict in BJP leader MJ Akbar's defamation case against journalist Priya Ramani. Akanksha then talks about her experience covering the ongoing farmer protest at Singhu on Delhi's border. On how the farmers plan to adjust their protest to the approaching summer and their apprehensions about the new agriculture laws, she says, “Another fear they have is that with the entry of private players contract farming may result in some sort of exploitation. Their fears are not completely unfounded, they do have a basis.”Akanksha also talks about her story on Dilbag Singh, a farmer from Pubjab who cycles around the Singhu protest to lift spirits. Ayush then moves to Anna's report investigating Rinku Sharma's death at Mangolpuri which the Hindu nationalist ecosystem has sought to communalise. Anna shares her experience covering the story and what the people there felt about the reporter's presence in the area.This and a lot more as they talk about what made news, what didn't, and what shouldn't have.

As eleições norte-americanos, com um mitômano como candidato, colocou à prova todos os preparativos de Facebook e Twitter nos últimos quatro anos para conter abusos. Ainda não foi suficiente, porém, e achamos que o problema, na real, é mais embaixo.

In about 1978, I found myself in my high school library. I don’t know why I was there except to say I was probably on detention; I didn’t do a lot of reading in those days. In any event, I was wandering around the stacks and I found a book called My Lai 4. I knew a little about the My Lai massacre because I knew a little about the Vietnam War; my father had been in the army in the 1960s and my uncle had fought in Vietnam. I started reading. It’s not often that a book stays with you your whole life, but Seymour M. Hersh‘s My Lai 4: A Report on the Massacre and Its Aftermath (Random House, 1970) did. Hersh reported–that’s just the word–what happened: he did not embellish, he did not moralize, he did not speculate. He tirelessly interviewed the men who were there, the men who commanded them, and read everything he could get his hands on. Then he told a shocked American public: this happened. His reporting arguably changed the course of the Vietnam War. It changed the course of my life, as I went on to write a book about My Lai myself. He has told the story of how he broke My Lai countless times. The story made him famous, and his later reporting only added to that fame. So in this interview about his recently published, telling, and honest memoir Reporter: A Memoir (Knopf, 2018), I focus on Hersh’s life before My Lai. I was particularly interested to learn how he became “Sy Hersh, reporter.” Listen in.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Reporter, A Memoir van Seymour Hersh De Amerikaanse onderzoeksjournalist Seymour Hersh (1937) werd internationaal bekend door zijn onthullingen over het My Lai- bloedbad in Vietnam in 1968. Amerikaanse soldaten vermoordden daar naar schatting honderden burgers en kinderen. De geplande doofpot mislukte mede door de verhalen van Hersh, wat leidde tot massaler protest tegen de Vietnamoorlog. Het was het begin van het einde van de oorlog in Vietnam.Hersh kreeg nadien de Pulitzerprijs voor zijn onderzoeksjournalistieke werk.Seymour Hersh' autobiografie verscheen deze maand in Amerika. Vaste non-fictie recensent Marc Chavannes las het alvast en bespreekt Reporter, A memoir van Seymour M. Hersh.

Most of us remember exactly where we were when President Obama announced that Osama Bin Laden had been killed, bringing an end to the War on Terror and restoring peace to the Middle East. But ever since that fateful night, when all Americans celebrated our unmitigated victory in the most tasteful and least bloodthirsty way possible, some skeptics have questioned the official account. Is it possible that the United States government would lie to its own citizens? The possibility seems unthinkable, but who can you trust? In this episode, Joe & Josh read Seymour M. Hersh's famous - or infamous, depending on your point of view - account of "The Killing of Osama bin Laden." Is Hersh's version of events plausible? Sort of. Does it raise troubling questions about an act of state violence still cloaked in secrecy? Absolutely.

Seymour M. Hersh is out with his version of how Osama bin Laden was killed, which refutes many aspects of the official story. We’ll poke at the aspects of his reports that might be true & those that might be false. Plus a look at the NSA’s loudest defenders, a new Cyber threat & the real problem ABC has with covering the Clintons.
