democracy-ish

Once again the polls were wrong. While there wasn't a blue wave--there was absolutely no referendum against President Biden and once again he defied history. On this week's #democracyish Danielle is joined by author and political pundit Jennifer Taub (Waj is on holiday) to recap the midterms and discuss where Democrats go from here!Hosts: Danielle Moodie & Wajahat AliExecutive Producer: Adell ColemanSenior Producer: Quinton HillDistributor: DCP EntertainmentLearn more about your ad choices.

What happens when journalists are targeted by the state? What happens when the truth is silenced through murder and a coverup? Former AP Bureau Chief of Mexico and Central America, Katherine Corcoran, joins Danielle and Wajahat on #democracyish to share the harrowing story of a series of murders of journalists in Mexico--what we should all see as foreshadowing to what can happen in the US if Republicans have their way. In her new book: In the Mouth of the Wolf: A Murder, A Coverup and the True Cost of Silencing the Press, Katherine weaves a narrative that sends chills up our spines and sets off alarms in our heads.

The New York Times did yet another feature story on how sad white racist Americans are about the changes happening in America. Just once it would be awesome if the mainstream media pulled up to a diner in another part of America to speak with Black, Indigenous, People of Color and asked how it feels to live in a nation that doesn't only hate you but actively tries to kill you. "Their America" as the NYT put it is vanishing because it never existed to begin with. It was all a well crafted lie. Danielle and Wajahat unpack this and so much more on this episode of #democracyish.Hosts: Danielle Moodie & Wajahat AliExecutive Producer: Adell ColemanSenior Producer: Quinton HillDistributor: DCP EntertainmentLearn more about your ad choices.
