Eleanor Goldfield and Mickey Huff host this week’s program.First up, journalist Stephanie Koithan joins the show to discuss Dilley, a concentration camp predominantly for children. Stephanie discusses some of the horrific stories she’s uncovered through her investigative reporting including instances of gross medical neglect and how difficult it is to do that reporting from what she calls a black site of information, and the retaliation by guards against the children for speaking with press.
Next up, my cohost Mickey Huff and I dig into some of the news that didn’t make the news with a focus on the US/Israeli illegal and unprovoked attacks on Iran. We discuss the nuance and multitude of facts that corporate media always miss or omit, the importance of historical context, the regional repercussions of these attacks, and more.
Notes:
Stephanie Koithan is the Digital Editor of the San Antonio Current, where she covers politics, music, and other topics for the leftist alternative weekly. She also covers voter suppression, homelessness and ICE actions in the area, among other areas of focus.
