Project Censored 2-3-26

Eleanor Goldfield & Mickey Huff host this week’s program. 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. Notes: Dr. Steve Macek is a media scholar and professor of communications at North Central College. Christian Sorensen is a researcher focused on the bundling of military and big business. A U.S. military veteran, he is associate director at the Eisenhower Media Network. His research is available at thebusinessofwar.substack.com .
