“I always talk about going to where the silence is. That is our job as journalists.”
Amy Goodman, Host and Executive Producer of Democracy Now!, joined us to talk about her new documentary ‘Steal This Story, Please!’ Listen to Goodman on the importance of press freedom, how she has always sought to hold truth to power, and the importance of talking to real people on the ground in her reporting.
Former Fox News host Steve Hilton is running to be California’s next Republican governor. Hilton joins “The Weekend: Primetime” to discuss his views on climate change, whether he believes Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election, and much more.
“Worse than Plessy v. Ferguson.” Former federal prosecutor Paul Butler joins The Weekend: Primetime to discuss how the Supreme Court’s most recent ruling on Louisiana redistricting will impact voting rights of Black and brown people, even more than the landmark Plessy v. Ferguson case that established “separate but equal” doctrine.
They’re not just silencing journalists—they’re reshaping reality.
Press freedom is collapsing. Reporters are being arrested, attacked, and killed—from the U.S. to Gaza and Lebanon—while billionaires tighten control over the news we see.
This isn’t just a media story. It’s about who gets to tell the truth—and who gets to bury it.
World Press Freedom Day
Under new guidance issued by the Trump administration, immigrants can now be denied a green card for expressing political opinions, such as participating in pro-Palestinian campus protests, posting criticism of Israel on social media and desecrating the American flag, according to internal Department of Homeland Security training materials reviewed by The New York Times.
Just 24 hours after the country was talking about Trump’s hostility toward the press, he turned on CBS’s Norah O’Donnell — calling her “horrible” when she read him the alleged WHCD attacker’s writings.
University of Chicago Professor Robert Pape makes the case that Trump’s war with Iran is causing historic damage to the global economy and warns the economic fallout from the conflict could soon rival that of the U.S. wars in Vietnam and Iraq.
It’s not every day you get to sit in a room with two geniuses listening to them discuss art, music, astronomy and religion!
