Each year's Project Censored volume includes a chapter on "junk-food news" -- trivial or scarcely-significant stories
that receive disproportionate coverage on corporate media, thereby crowding out more-significant issues. This week's
Project Censored Show features three of the researchers for the junk-food news chapter of Censored 2019, to examine
the insidious social effects of junk-food news, and to discuss their work and this year's chapter.
Notes:
Izzy Snow and Christina Hamilton are students at College of Marin, and Project Censored researchers / authors.
Susan Rahman teaches social sciences at College of Marin and is the Project Censored faculty contact at that institution.

The video-news service "In the Now" had its Facebook page suspended after a CNN story accused
an "In the Now" host of being biased in favor of Russian government positions, owing to the network
receiving funding from RT. Why did CNN try to hamper another news organization?

Author and editorial cartoonist Ted Rall is the first guest; he explains the latest developments
in his legal battle with the Los Angeles Times, and the wider problem of how big corporations
now use anti-SLAPP statues to stop less-powerful plaintiffs from having their cases heard by juries.
In the second half of the show, Robert Manning and Kenneth Dubroff introduce a new grassroots-based
nuclear-disarmament advocacy group they created, and how they hope to influence decision-makers.
They point out that the nuclear nations' arsenals of today are even more dangerous than those of the 1960s.
