I'm Manila Chan. Former anchor at RT America. This podcast covers random news stories that didn't make air for various reasons. So we'll pick up where my show left off, or fill in the gaps on stories regular people are talking about. We'll go from pop culture to foreign policy! UNAFFILIATED with RT in any way, this is my personal project - inspired by many viewers who asked for more exploration of certain topics. You'll get my opinion here that you didn't see on TV on topics I'm interested in. Consider this the "B Sides." See more at ManilaChan.com + https://substack.com/@manilachan

    FOOD FIGHT: RFK Jr's MAHA vs Fat Fluencers

    Americans have always had a love-hate relationship with food. We eat too much of it, and not the best kind; as high as 75% of Americans are considered obese. Yet our popular culture lionizes models and actors so painfully thin many of them suffer from anorexia. The latest attempt by the body-positivity movement to fight fat-shaming comes in the form of online “fat-fluencers,” one of whom has been hired by San Francisco as its weight stigma czar. Meanwhile, HHS nominee RFK Jr. is going after Big Food on the grounds that they’re inhibiting his drive to Make America Healthy Again. Co-hosts Ted Rall and Manila Chan investigate these latest developments in our national Food Fight.

    NC Dems Did Matthew Hoh Dirty

    *** First, apologies for my audio quality. I recently moved my studio setup and my new mic/other equipment hadn't arrived at the time of this recording.  On to the interview: Matthew Hoh is an injured, Marine Corp. Iraq War veteran. He's running for US Senate for North Carolina on the Green Party ticket. He explains how the Democrat Party in NC played some dirty tricks to try to kick him off the ballot for the November midterm elections. We also discuss medicare for all, Julian Assange, and media manipulation in service to the political duopoly in America.  Learn more about Matthew Hoh's grassroots campaign here:  https://www.matthewhohforsenate.org/

    Censorship, comedy, and anti-war don’t mix

    Lee Camp, famed comedian and anti-war activist, shares his thoughts on the shuttering of our TV network, RT AMERICA, global conflicts, and how the media actually undermines peace. And before you get on my case - my internet connection sucked today! So there are gaps in my audio. I apologize, but I’m not a rich, network news anchor on MSM who can afford an elaborate setup. Maybe someday I can piece meal better equipment but I can’t stop ISP throttling. For now, this is it; the insightful takes of Lee Camp! Thanks for listening!
