Explore how the media frames anti-genocide protests on college campuses as crises, while failing to acknowledge the organized and rational nature of the protests. The discussion sheds light on the biased narratives surrounding protests at universities like Columbia University, NYU, CUNY, and UCLA, emphasizing the need to listen to the student organizers and protesters.
On this Citations Needed Live Show, recorded virtually on May 23, 2024, Adam and Nima discuss recent coverage of the campus protests over the ongoing genocide in Gaza, from the media's habit of pathologizing Zoomers to Biden's condescending implication they're just a foaming hate mob.
We were joined by guests Layla Saliba and Jonathan Ben-Menachem.
