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.

    Boeing and Baltimore Bridge Scandals: Monopolization and Criminal Negligence? – Katya Schwenk

Katya Schwenk, reporter at The Lever, discusses the policies of recent administrations to enable Boeing's industry takeover and criminal negligence, as well as similar practices of covering up safety issues in the shipping industry, which potentially led to the Dali cargo ship's collapsing of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore.

Bill Hartung, national security and U.S. foreign policy analyst at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, discusses the Biden administration's weapons sales to Israel, many of which have not been reported to U.S. Congress.

A must listen to.

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.
