To break down the United States’ rapid descent into fascism, Mehdi is joined by former Trump official turned vocal critic of the president, Olivia Troye, who served as national security adviser to Vice President Mike Pence in the first term, as well as philosophy professor, author, fascism expert, and Zeteo contributor, Jason Stanley.

- Description
- Since being named CBS News’s Editor in Chief in October, Bari Weiss has turned the network into a soft-MAGA mouthpiece – just take a look at its latest roster of contributors, which is a who’s who of at best, centrist pundits, and at worst, right-wing hacks.
While it’s easy to dunk on Bari Weiss, CBS’s rightward shift is indicative of a larger problem in our media ecosystem: across so-called “liberal” media, there’s long been a glaring absence of proper progressive and leftist voices.
In his latest scathing monologue, Mehdi breaks down the progressive-shaped hole in our mainstream corporate-controlled media and makes the case for why supporting independent journalism now is more important than ever.

- ‘Israeli Society Has Become Completely Genocidal' - B'Tselem Head Yuli Novak
- Date posted

- Description
- In this latest episode of Beyond Israelism, Simone Zimmerman sits down with Yuli Novak, Executive Director of the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem, and one of the most uncompromising dissident voices within Israel.

Today, as head of B’Tselem, Yuli explains why the organization chose to name Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide in its report ‘Our Genocide’.
