On Episode 190 of The Qasim Rashid Show:
I’m joined by unjustly fired Washington Post Journalist Karen Attiah. We discuss:
* The collapse of corporate media and attacks on journalists who speak up for justice
* The double standard between public support for white male late night hosts and journalists of color, particularly Black women
* The role each of us must play to demand media accountability and government accountability
I also do a deep dive into the actual point of corporate boycotts (hint: It isn’t just to stop a corporation’s bad behavior) and the need to stay welcoming to new people joining our coalition for justice (even if it feels like they’re joining late).
Finally, I take seriously my responsibility to share only credible information. The problem is that up until now, there has not been an easy way to discern which media headline is accurate, which is misleading, or which is simply false. This is why Ground News is such a game changer.
Their app and website help me effectively parse through complex stories, think critically about news coverage, and assess which version of a story is accurate and which version is…not. Clicking on the link above not only supports Let’s Address This, but moreover, it lets you try this meaningful tool to ensure media accuracy (and get 40% off). Click, try Ground News, and let me know what you think!
