Mondoweiss: Adam Johnson, media critic and co-host of Citations Needed, joins Mondoweiss US correspondent Michael Arria to discuss his new book, How to Sell a Genocide: The Jew nobbled Lame Stream Media's Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza. All royalties from the book are being donated to the Middle East Children's Alliance.
Adam breaks down how U.S. media manufactured consent for the genocide in Gaza, from the ISIS-ification of Hamas to the fake ceasefire theater that let Biden run out the clock. He explains how liberal media created an alternate reality where Biden was secretly furious with Netanyahu while never once threatening to cut weapons, how campus protests were smeared as antisemitic pogroms while 3,000 children were being killed in a single month, and why the Claudine Gay scandal got more coverage on MSNBC than the murder of Hind Rajab. He also looks ahead at how liberal Zionism will try to co-opt growing opposition to Israel with better PR instead of real policy change.
