Bestseller(!) & Your Weekend Catch-Up
Due process, media infantilization, Netanyahu and good confusion
After a full year of the podcast They Stand Corrected, this was the first week off. Next week’s episode is in production, and timely. I look forward to sharing it with you. Now is a great time to get caught up on episodes you may have missed.
For example, I recently answered listeners’ questions about due process for a pro-terror radical from Columbia; an accusation involving the straw man fallacy and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu; and an anti-trans activist allowed to spew lies on a major network. Plus, why a specific type of confusion is a great thing.
I also recently explained how the media infantilizes a group of people by absolving them of any responsibility, a common form of dehumanization by the media. In that episode (50), you’ll hear NPR do it.
