On the NoseThe Media Goes MAGAAs media figures reacted to the assassination of right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk last month, a movement to purge those critical of President Trump and his MAGA movement found success. The most prominent censorship case came when ABC, bowing to pressure from the head of the Federal Communications Commission, pulled late-night host Jimmy Kimmel off the air for his anti-MAGA remarks during his opening monologue. This clampdown on speech critical of Trump comes amid a broader attempt to reshape mainstream media in the rightâs image. In this episode, senior reporter Alex Kane discusses the mediaâs right-wing turn...

There Are No Girls on the InternetKaren Attiah, last Black columnist at Washington Post, fired for insufficiently mourning Charlie KirkIn the wake of Charlie Kirkâs murder, the Trump Administration and their collaborators are prosecuting a widespread crackdown on free expression. Karen Attiah has been a columnist at the Washington Post for 11 years, and was the last remaining Black columnist at the newspaper until last week. She was fired, allegedly for being insufficiently mournful over murdered racist Charlie Kirk, but at this point her firing seems less about what she actually said and more about sending a message: dissent will be punished. But unlike some people (looking at you, Bezos), she has no intention of backing dow...

But when you look at how Americaâs two major parties use the power that they have, thereâs no question whatsoever that Republicans understand power politics while Democrats have a much more passive attitude toward it.This has been true since at least 1964 when a dedicated group of reactionaries took over the Republican party and installed their extremist candidate Barry Goldwater and proceeded to systematically cancel and remove anyone who stood in their way.
