This podcast of Global Stuff features two guests. In the first half, Jeff
Cohen, media critic, writer and journalism professor who led the
Rootsaction.org campaign, “Don’t Run Joe” to convince Joe Biden to
drop out of the presidential race, discusses the impact of his exit. He
also provides a perspective on the challenges facing Kamela Harris and
the dynamics of the upcoming election. In the second half, Andra
Watkins journalist and author of the substack newsletter, “How Project
2025 Will Ruin Your Life” clarifies the extreme threat posed by the far
Christian Right nationalist agenda represented by Project 25. As a
woman who was raised in the South in a Christian fundamentalist
culture, Andra knows firsthand what their plans mean for individual
rights and freedoms.
Jeff Cohen, media critic and lecturer, was founding director of the Park
Center for Independent Media at Ithaca College, where he was an
associate professor of journalism. He founded the media watch
group FAIR in 1986, and cofounded the online activist
group RootsAction.org in 2011. Cohen has coproduced documentary
movies, including “The Corporate Coup D’Etat” and “All Governments
Lie: Truth, Deception and the Spirit of I.F. Stone.” He is the author
of Cable News Confidential: My Misadventures in Corporate Media. He
has been a TV commentator at CNN, Fox News and MSNBC, and was
senior producer of MSNBC’s Phil Donahue primetime show until it was
terminated three weeks before the Iraq invasion. His columns have been published online at such websites as HuffPost, CommonDreams
and Truthout—and in dozens of dailies, including USA
Today, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe, Atlanta
Constitution, and Miami Herald.
Andra Watkins is the author of the Substack newsletter “How Project
2025 Will Ruin Your Life.” She is the author of five books (and counting)
including the NY Times bestseller, Not Without My Father: One
Woman’s 444-Mile Walk of the Natchez Trace, 2015 National Book
