Project Censored

This week's show coincides with Banned-Books-Week, and Mickey spends the hour with five guests, representing 

a variety of perspectives, but all in agreement on the need to defend peoples' right to read. The topics of discussion 

include the origin of Banned-Books-Week in the 1980s, the ongoing attempts to restrict what students may read in school, 

and the continuing importance of comic books and graphic novels in today's media world. 

 

Latin America and Journalism: Nolan Higdon and Nicholas Baham speak with Kali Persall 

(recently returned from a visit to Cuba), and T.M. Scruggs (recently returned from Nicaragua).

Kali Persall writes for the Pioneer newspaper in Hayward, California (www.thepioneeronline.com). 

TM Scruggs is a co-founder of the Real News Network (www.therealnews.com)

Marking the 16^th anniversary of the September 11^th attacks, Peter and Mickey speak with two scholars who've written extensively about Sept. 11. 

The first guest is David Ray Griffin, author of nearly a dozen books about Sept. 11; he contends the Bush Administration played the central role in the attacks. 

In this appearance on the Project Censored Show, he speaks about some of the ideas in his latest book, Bush and Cheney: How They Ruined America and the World.

For the second half of the show, Tony Hall speaks about Mossad and Sept. 11, and how he was fired from a tenured professorship at a Canadian university after expressing his views. 

 

Mickey's guest for the hour is the academic, and prolific author, Henry Giroux of McMaster University in Canada. 
They discuss some of the consequences of neoliberalism and authoritarianism for the US, and how US political culture deteriorated to a level that allowed Trump to be elected.
