In the first segment of this week's Project Censored Show, Mickey welcomes back media scholar Nolan Higdon. They discuss his new podcast Disinfo Detox and recurring special feature “The Gaslight Gazette" that analyzes current events and media coverage of them through a critical media literacy lens aiming to deconstruct deceptive media messaging. They also discuss legacy media's failure to adequately cover Joe Biden’s physical and cognitive decline in the last election, which a new book co-authored by CNN’s Jake Tapper addresses, though the authors shift blame from corporate media to the Democratic Party without noting their own role in lack of in-depth coverage even though there were stories published at the time in the independent press. Later in the show Eleanor Goldfield and Mickey present another installment in their "Is This the Best We Can Do" segment that analyzes the competency of current government appointees for the positions they fulfill. They provide examples regarding the current heads of FEMA, the Department of Homeland Security, the former spokesperson for Biden’s Secretary of State, and more.
