Washington Post (5/30/17)

This week on CounterSpin: The Washington Post headlined a May 30 analysis piece “Trump’s Quick to Tweet on Terror and TV, Slower on Things Like the Attack in Portland.” Meant to call out Trump‘s unwillingness to engage white supremacist violence, the paper unwittingly illustrates the problem of elite media, who continue to maintain separate spaces for extremist attacks based on who commits them. Heidi Beirich leads Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Project, which publishes the Intelligence Report and the Hatewatch blog. She’ll join us to talk about what’s going on.

Also on the show: “Once again, Brazil has found itself in upheaval.” Thus do elite media, in this case the New York Times, describe power struggles in other countries: almost natural, like earthquakes, more endemic to some areas than others. Every country’s different, but that there might be… commonalities… with a situation in which a right wing leadership fights to hold onto power many believe illegitimately attained in order to pursue unpopular austerity measures that hurt the most vulnerable in order to serve elites, doesn’t seem something media are eager to underscore. We’ll get an update on Brazil from Maria Luisa Mendonça, coordinator of the Network for Social Justice and Human Rights in Brazil and director of the Feminist Alliance for Rights at the Center for Women’s Global Leadership at Rutgers University.

Plus a quick look back at recent press—namely, a new FAIR study of coverage of Trump’s cabinet nominees.
