28. How to Sell a Genocide w/ Adam Johnson

28. How to Sell a Genocide w/ Adam Johnson

Adam Johnson is a media analyst and co-host of the podcast Citations Needed. His new book How to Sell a Genocide (Pluto Books, out now) draws on analysis of over 12,000 articles and 5,000 TV segments to document how US center-left legacy media — the New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, and others — provided systematic PR cover for the genocide in Gaza.

Johnson and I dig into the quantitative evidence for asymmetric language, the invention of the "Hamas-run health ministry" pejorative, the three masks of helpless/fuming/umpire Biden, and the "moats of rationalization" that allowed liberal audiences to intellectually and emotionally distance themselves from industrial-scale slaughter live-streamed into their phones. All royalties from Adam's book go to the Middle East Children's Alliance.
