Political Bias in Media, from a Progressive's Perspective | Josh Elstro

Many of the guests on Viewpoints, so far, have been critical of the mainstream media for being too left-leaning. Well, in this episode you're going to hear from someone who thinks that mainstream media is, if anything, still too right-leaning.


Josh Elstro is a podcast and multimedia producer for Convergence Magazine, a publication that works with organizers and activists to promote socially progressive causes.

We discuss media bias, echo chambers and the possibility of talking across political divides. It is a fun and spirited discussion that I think you're going to enjoy, regardless of your politics.

Some of the topics we get into (and often disagree on) are:

  • Is the media too left or too right-leaning?
  • NPR and its catering to white progressives
  • Coverage of the Palestinian cause
  • Neoliberal capitalist dominance in the media
  • Billionaires influence in politics
  • Is wokeness even a thing?
  • Do people on the right have any legitimate beefs or are they all Trumped up, pun intended?


And much more....
