We’re joined by Adam Johnson of the Citations Needed podcast and his co-author Othman Ali to discuss their series of articles for The Nation investigating the various ways the media has covered for the Biden administration in regards to the war in Gaza. Adam & Othman dismantle the various tropes and obfuscations deployed over the last year, including sowing distrust of information coming from Gaza, Biden’s supposed “anger” at Netanyahu, administration officials “tirelessly working for a ceasefire,” and many other canards, false equivalencies & outright lies we’ve sadly grown accustomed to hearing.

I will join you, those "no politics durring dinner" type of rules always ruined my life anyway.

Evan

Semine

Woke Batou

Stuffing this in my turtussy

Wagner Koop

So happy to see Adam on the pod, crossover I’ve been after forever. Thank you for the slop. 🙏

Osborne MOCs

Been wanting you guys to get Adam on for a while, happy Thanksgiving to all the Citationsheads

Travis

Felix begins speaking at 8 minutes and 45 seconds. happy turkey day

Tyler Sutherland

After this debacle I hope no one talks big on Hezbollah ever again. The most incompetent dipshits in this conflaguration outside of the IDF and Iran.

ploob

First!

William

This is huge. Can’t wait to tell my relatives about this tomorrow

Axel H.

Second-favorite Adam to appear on Chapo.

Foolian

Best thanksgiving present ever

Fat Cobra

I am thankful for chapo, especially as the demonrats embrace genocide....... Happy Thanksgiving (genocide cover up day! "

Last Years Man

Goddamn you, Chris. You just needed one excuse to drop that goddamn Hoochie Coochie Man clip again, didn't you.

Last Years Man

Wow, Citations Needed looks like a good listen. Added.

Guydude

Opening with "The faction that wasn't clamoring for a ceasefire capitulated," is crazy.

Tristan Clark

Early slop from Mister Chapo while the Tru crew takes the week off. The GOATs do not disappoint.

Joe’s fat head

“Emoprog” describes both my politics and most of my favorite bands.

Jack

if this episode bummed you out, listen to the new godspeed album, it helped me feel better <3

Front Dogs Go To Heaven

Also recommend 9-15-00 on repeat for 2 weeks. Unfortunately spoiled for choice when it comes to godspeed all-timers inspired by horrors in Palestine

THEKILLERWHALE

Yes, who can forget the time when they discussed season 4 of Criminal Minds with the first human ever to exist. Banger of an episode.

ben

Yo, way wrong on the ceasefire! Israel always negotiates to save face for its public consumption. Guess we'll see though.

Frank

If we could get this unlocked for the free piggies I think this is important for as many people as possible to hear.

William

Who asked?

Biscuit

Why is chapo trap house doing a Black Friday deal

not_today

These are two of the three podcasts I pay for. They’re awesome.

Hilary is Pant-suited Syphilis

The feigned and preference for bourgeois liberals to be seen as weak or bumbling or incompetent was reported by Lenin over a 100 years ago in his article “two utopias”

T

If this episode bummed you out, listen to the album with the Palestinian death count in its title

T

Cease? Fire!

Matthew

Citations Needed is the podcast that made me think podcasts could be worth a damn; I can't recommend it highly enough.

Teleseen

You guys should unlock this

Jack

Yes, the album is about Palestine, but it presents a message of hope through its music. If you prefer a total distraction to help you feel better (no shade), I recommend Guys: a podcast about Guys <3

Tyler Sutherland

the countless Palestinians and Lebanese who counted on these dickless fuckheads to not mess this up, but instead Hezbollah bought vital comms infrastructure without fucking CHECKING THEM FIRST and having their ENTIRE FUCKING LEADERSHIP KEEP SHOWING UP TO WORK ON FRIDAY JUST TO GET BOMBED

Goku

Can you guys please unlock this so I can share it with my lib girlfriend and start a huge argument?

Jack

are you me from the future?

Icarus

my lib family needs to hear this! pleeease unlock this ep ❤️

Udit Singh

Holy shit the god tier crossover of my two favourite podcasts

Jimmy McMillan

I think Biden is really pissed at the Israelis. You wouldn't believe the things I heard he called BB when he walked in on him having sex with Dr. Jill. He yelled at him the whole time saying, "HEY! Cut that out Jack!” He was so upset, he almost refused to go get them a Gatorade

Waffle Poet

This was an incredible episode. Fantastic media criticism and reading media the filth going hand in hand. The two articles were great and, hell, I subbed to Citations Needed. Definitely worth it.

Patrick Allen

Episode excoriating U.S. attempts to broker a ceasefire between Hezbollah in Lebanon and Israel drops on Nov. 27; also on Nov. 27, the U.S. announces it has helped broker a ceasefire between Hezbollah in Lebanon and Israel, effective immediately.

Matthew Krueger

More like: ceaselessly working for a tire-fire... I'm so happy to have the arc of the horseshit nyt/atlantic monthly etc... narrative in one place. Knowing that ten years from now they'll all still have their jobs writing the same bullshit about the next bullshit war/colonial genocide is so fucking crazy-making - the Iraq war but worse. Time is a flat circle and I can't stop making little aluminum men out of my Lone Star empties.

DrNerdBoi

Nov 28, Israel bombs Lebanon and then accuses them of violating the ceasefire

Bitcoin wallet inspector

I hope you'll release this one for free, it's got a lot of good information in it which deserves a wider audience

Aodhán Devlin

That clip of Biden at 26:35 is so nauseating, I don't think I've heard that before.

Last Years Man

I've been living under a rock for 10 years and didn't even realize Godspeed were making music again. Let alone music about Palestine.

Jon W

Capitalism comes for us all

C

Can u unlock this so I can send it to my mom?

Kevin Boyle

If Israel takes Gaza as its own territory under Trump admin supervision; this will just be a continuation of neo-liberalism and the forever war on terror. This is simply the new American century of blood, 23 years and running and the voters only care about their treaty treats. (there was no effective pressure on Kamala to do anything different….so its both blue and red voters)

Chuck

Holy shit, a Citations Needed crossover is finally happening?!? Let’s gooooo

Omar M

Thank you for this. Would be awesome if you unlocked this episode so it could be shared widely

Cardboard

CN were big Warrenites back in 2020, even used the term Bernie Bro unironically. Surprised to see them on the show but I get that the ep is about how to talk about gaza at Thanksgiving. CN is pretty good at media criticism

Dogtooth

I've been listening to CN a long time, and I do not remember any Warren era. Do you have some examples? Dare I say: Citations Needed?

Schaeffer Mallory

Someone needs to make an updated version of The West Wing about the Biden admin with a subplot about a staffer homewrecking Blinken after seeing him perform Hootchie Cootchie

lars

The new GYBE album is fantastic - as are all of Efrim's side projects. If you want to back a great community - I recommend dropping money on any/all of the bands on Constellation Records. Support artists and a label who have a moral compass. They are Canadian, but we can't all be perfect.

Matelda

No they weren't

Shadow Cabal

Voters demand planetary mortification!

Shadow Cabal

Envious of everybody saying their lib fam needs to hear this.

Matelda

The argument that Israel is being unfairly singled out in this case is correct because Biden and Blinken (at the very least) should be arrested by the ICC as well.

Patrick Carroll

The ceasefire they are discussing is in Gaza.

Simple jack

More like Excitations Needed

Zaq

All my dad's finally sat down together

Boxcar Neil

Next you’re going to tell me the Bushes and The Obungler should be hauled infront of some court. Smdh

Terra Pin

These guys are good

Evan

The crossover we've needed

Cameron Van Berkum

Israel violated that ceasefire 100 times before Lebanon retaliated once, and I get an AP buzz saying "Lebanon undermines ceasefire"

Coco C

Not true and I’ve been following them for many years

Dan Anderson

Two of my favorite people. So good!

Baby truck

Thought with that first announcement Chapo were finally rallying against the corrupt monopoly Board of Control for Cricket in India and their stranglehold on on the ICC and world cricket. Alas

Dan Brothers

I wish this, of all episodes, could be unlocked, or gifted. is that possible?

Lord-Admiral of the Pyrenees

“Non English media” I can assure you German media has been a million times worse. Stop romanticising non-Anglo countries.

Nabi

The crossover I've been waiting for, one of the most thoughtful leftist podcasts along with the funniest, if you also have the guys from Know Your Enemy on, it really will be christmas for me.

Walpurgisnacht

the equivalence that HRW and the ICC that the media object to is this: the ICC and HRW and other NGOs just assume that both israelis and palestinians are human beings. this is not an assumption that the biden admin, the media, and israel share. and its frustrating that the hosts didnt even mention that.
