Adam Johnson on Charlottesville March (2017) / Jacinta Gonzalez on Criminalizing Immigration (2018)

KPFA - CounterSpin

This week on CounterSpin:

We revisit the conversation we had in August 2017 in the wake of the Unite the Right march in Charlottesville, Virginia. Writer and podcaster Adam Johnson had thoughts about the way so-called “mainstream” news media responded to a straight-up celebration of white supremacy.

If we’re to believe the chest-thumping, high on Trump’s agenda will be the enforced criminalization of immigration. We talked about that in July 2018 with Jacinta Gonzalez, senior campaign organizer at Mijente.

Plus Janine Jackson takes a quick look at some recent press about Chris Matthews’s “morning after,” the New York Times‘ promoting white resentment, and Israel’s assassination of journalists.
