Corporate news has infantilized the national discourse. We need to tell people the whole truth, as best we can, about the urgency of this historical moment.

Corporate news rarely reveals the underlying interests that motivate individuals and classes to act as they do. In fact, they barely recognize that we live in a class society.

We take on important news stories as a way into a deeper examination of the economic, social and political forces that drive important events. Our aim is to reveal the economic relationships that are the foundation of political and social struggle.



We know the world can only be understood in the process of changing it.

    Haitian Ruling Families Create and Kill Monsters – Host, Paul Jay

    Haitian Ruling Families Create and Kill Monsters – Host, Paul Jay

    The Haitian oligarchy colludes with the U.S., Canada, foreign corporations, and organized crime to exploit the labor and resources of the country. These families pick “black faces” to front dictatorships that do their bidding and kill them when they are no longer useful. Jafrikayiti joins Paul Jay on theAnalysis.news.

    How Israel’s Bloodshed in Gaza Follows a Pattern of Demographic Engineering – Walid Habbas part 2/2

    How Israel’s Bloodshed in Gaza Follows a Pattern of Demographic Engineering – Walid Habbas part 2/2

    In part 2, Walid Habbas provides a detailed account of Israel's military operations in Gaza and its actions to separate Gaza into isolated areas with no public governance and little to no access to humanitarian aid. Not only is Netanyahu's government holding up the flow of vital aid into the Gaza Strip, it is weaponizing the provision of limited aid in order to accelerate the breakdown of civilian structures and the mass starvation of Palestinians. A scholar on the unequal relations between Israel and the occupied Palestinian Territories, Walid Habbas also discusses the political landscape of Palestinian ruling parties and their conflicting positions regarding the path to Palestinian liberation.

    Reagan’s Racism the Model for Trump – Matt Tyrnauer (pt 3/5)

    Reagan’s Racism the Model for Trump – Matt Tyrnauer (pt 3/5)

    Reagan was the master of racist "dog whistles," plausible deniability that allowed Reagan to protect himself. It has allowed the Republican Party for the last four decades to deny who Ronald Reagan was and turn him into a hero. Matt Tyrnauer, director of "The Reagans" on Showtime, joins Paul Jay on theAnalysis.news. This interview was originally published on February 9, 2021.

    How Israel Maintains Its Colonial Occupation – Walid Habbas pt 1/2

    How Israel Maintains Its Colonial Occupation – Walid Habbas pt 1/2

    Israel has expanded its role as an occupying power in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza Strip by building illegal settlements, establishing practices of indirect colonial management founded on military proclamations, and imposing checkpoints and blockades to control the livelihood of Palestinians since 1967 in particular. Walid Habbas, researcher at the Palestinian Forum for Israeli Studies (MADAR), zooms out from the current atrocities and applies a bird’s eye view to flesh out the dynamics of Israel's occupation of the Palestinian Territories. Besides military deployments enforcing the occupation, Walid delves into Israel’s control of Palestinian industry and the various forms of economic dependency that emerge from it.

    A Viable Plan or Utter Delusion: Is the Two-State Solution (Still) Possible? – Assal Rad part 2/2

    A Viable Plan or Utter Delusion: Is the Two-State Solution (Still) Possible? – Assal Rad part 2/2

    In Part 2, Assal Rad speaks to the importance of U.S. airman Aaron Bushnell's self-immolation in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C., where he stated that he would "not be complicit in genocide" in the Gaza Strip. Assal Rad, scholar of the Middle East, highlights the Biden administration's deceitful unwillingness to hold Israel to account in the face of the IDF's well-documented atrocities in Gaza while it simultaneously withholds funding from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) on the mere basis of allegations.

Great Pod!!

The most valuable and comprehensive podcast there is

Paul Jay is a treasure. His work via The Analysis picks up where he left off from the Real News Network and presents a thoroughly nuanced, multifaceted examination of all matters of the day. The guest list is also a treasure trove, consisting of the best minds in journalism, history, sociology, economics, activism, and politics. This podcast has been a lighthouse among the fog of partisan, commercialized, bereft, and toxic media within the tragic reality and times we find ourselves in. It has been a priceless resource and gift for me; I can’t recommend enough or sing it’s praise in the manner it deserves. A must.

Excellent Conversations/Interviews

Paul Jay is probably one of the best interviewers out there in all of media. Unfortunately, Paul at times has been relegated to and diminished to the sidelines by YouTube, Apple, Google, Cable, etc. Which has made him a newfound stalwart in independent media online, podcasts, YouTube, Patreon etc. He is always highly informed which allows both great conversations with guests as well as insightful questions but is also capable of shutting up and finding out information when he/ audience doesn’t know something or that particulate subject is not in his wheelhouse.
