In the first part of the program, Mickey sits down with Jeff Cohen, founder of Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting, founding director of the Park Center for Independent Media and author to talk about the passing of independent media great Bill Moyers. Jeff shares stories of Moyers intrepid reporting and his behind-the-scenes organizing and fundraising that allowed truly independent media to flourish. His death is a loss for the alternative independent media world, and a sobering reminder of the need for outspoken voices such as Bill’s in times like these. In the second part of the show, co hosts Mickey Huff and Eleanor Goldfield dig into some of the news that didn’t make the news, and why, as well as asking, is this the best we can do? They kick off with what corporate media won’t tell you about the so-called Big Beautiful Bill, and then dig into some historical context of the insidious Project Esther, the latest in a long line of threats to our civil liberties, going back to COINTELPRO. Sprinkle in some investigative comedy, defense of metal heads, and more - coming up now on Project Censored.
