This week we talk about the concept of being “objective” in western media as discussed in Amy McQiure’s new book ‘Black Witness’: how objectivity is not only weaponised against marginalised folks, but is a state that isn’t even possible to reach in the first place.
We discuss the Australian media’s bias towards pro-Israel coverage, the systematic undermining of non-white journalists in matters of race and white supremacy, and the allegations of racism in the ABC (specifically, Antoinette Lattouf’s court case and the recent episode of Media Watch that targeted Tony Armstrong).
