THUMBS DOWN! ... neither of these two pseudo-journalists are credible anymore ... Norton called the participants in the Canadian Trucker's Convoy "right-wing wackos" and shortly thereafter, was expelled from the GRAY ZONE ... And after preaching direct confrontation with tyranny for the past 20 years, Hedges not only refused to stand with "his" U.S. working class against the illegal and unconstitutional mandates and passports, but also pushed the "safe & effective" narrative on us just 30 days after the explosive, court-ordered FDA FOIA release ... With friends like these ...

It seems to me that with the combination of social media revealing all the bad hasbara and spin that more and more poeple are listening to the handful and that the handful is growing in number too! It is a moment for humanity to grasp , unite and transform! That or be eaten alive and then buried in a mass grave by corporatism and the endless war industry. In this moment , as devastating as it is I am hopeful. Tik Tok has awakened people (and that is why the US legislature is in the process of banning it). This is our momentum to unite and work for peace and equality. Thank you for this illuminating discussion!

Thank you Ben for mentioning Emmett Till. Emmett was a CHILD, (A MINOR at the age of 14 years old) was lynched (severely beaten, castrated, mutilated and drowned) by a gang of adult white men outside of Money, Mississippi. That heinous murder was what sparked the rise of the human rights violations of Melanated/Indigenous people in the United States.

The extra-judicial killing of a 14 year-old boy of color may have very well lain the groundwork for a later so-called constitutional expert POTUS in his design for the extra-judicial killing of "fighting age males" including an official "kill list" (disguised under the title, Disposition Matrix) in 2010.

Hedges is one of very few journalists of his character and merit. If you're under 30ish and reading this, please be a journalist like Chris Hedges.

The undermining of genuine "democratic", humanistic principles, that is occurring around the globe - particularly in Gaza and Ukraine - SHOULD BE a "wake-up call" for everyday citizens everywhere. Oligarchic hegemony threatens your children's future.

Exactly! People who went to their won echo chambers only and got their views supported by media lies all of a sudden see that the Left wing adn Right wing media have totally merged when it comes to Israel and Gaza. So in essence it upset both groups, they feel abandoned. Since I have been watching all News cable channels a bit I truly see the shock some experience. Like their family has left them and abandoned them.

One of the most interesting and instructive videos I've seen on KZread in a long time. Fantastic guests. Thank you ❤️

The whites do not want children having a sound education so that they grow up and be perceptive of the injustices around. Today's royals and government and film stars only want a fawning public that can be handled like putty in their wicked palms. The famous are now grabbing even the slots of ordinary people to advertise for donations _ starvation, people fleeing their country, food.

Chris is so right about internet "news" - it is essentially commentary, not reportage. Until we find a way to coelesce independent commentators into reporters we will be in an echo chamber based upon second hand facts or fabrications.

As a journalist you need to give PROPS to Greyzone for doing the initial deep dive that Intercept took it's ques from. Love for Greyzone.

We thank all the journalists who have willingly stepped over that red line. We know the danger it poses to tell us truth!

We don’t need reporters anymore, now everyone who has a smart phone is a reporter.

Just imagine how many Media Corporations and Think Tanks will go bankrupt when the dollar dies :)

Excellent Conversation, thsnk you both! 😊

Chris Hedges - The Journalist!

I've followed Chris Hedges ever since I was protesting the war in Iraq in 2003. Immense respect for this man who lost his job for talking the truth to power. As for Ben, he's one of my absolute favourites: Hi's channel has brought together a great bunch of too radical to show on MSM economists that are unknown outside the academia, but respected by a lot of left-leaning academics. Both of then also focus on fighting the powerful, rather than go for the clickbait online drama and weird popular trends. Very respectably professional and I appreciate that.

Huge respect for Mr Hedges .

Excellent channel - fantastic guests!

Excellent! Thank you!

Y'all got great guests, solidarity Indian comrades!

I discovered what a piece of work the New York Times was during the prelude to the Iraq War. I ended my subscription then, and I never looked back. I may have read no more than ten articles of NYT since then, It has been 23 years. I never missed anything. Journalism is dead. What now passes for journalism ANY ONE can do.

That is right Chris

Excellent interview(s). Credulously writing down whatever a CIA spook or an elite tells you isn't journalism; it's stenography, and we have plenty of stenographers today. Journalism is holding the powerful to account; not rubbing shoulders with them for "access". Hedges is a treasure.

Glad Ben has finally come around on Ukraine-Russia-US War. He was very pro “Ukrainian resistance”, which is asking for and inviting WWIII

Excellent debate.

The closest comparison of Hamas to other poorly armed occupation resistance groups in the common era would be the French Resistance working against German occupation in the 1940's.

Actually a "Wurlitzer" was not a musical instrument, it was a JUKEBOX. The point being it was something they could select whatever "songs" they wanted played in terms of the mass media's spews.

We have gotten to this point in this country through years of policy decisions that have been formed by the monied and their ability to 'donate' to political campaigns. Is there a soul left who isn't fearful of reporting about this breakdown in democratic control of our government of the people, by the people, for the people?

Hamas is more like the French Resistance than any of the more well armed resistance groups in the common era.

With its consistently false reporting, the Times follows the model of The National Enquirer.
