Project Censored Show featuring guests, Zara Zimbardo and Peter Byrne
In the first segment, co-host Eleanor Goldfriend talks with psychiatrist Samaiya Mushtaq about how the social media framework makes it easy to dehumanize others (and ourselves) as a means of avoiding discomfort, and too often, amps up intolerance of those perceived to be insurmountably different.
In the second segment, Chip Gibbons of DEFENDING RIGHTS AND DISSENT INC puts today’s free speech battles into historical context and explains how tactics such as blacklists play a role in legal cases.
