How media censors the left w/Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis

In the midst of the largest strike wave in the US in a century, corporate media is more focused on amplifying the bigotry and fearmongering of right-wing politicians and their base than on covering working class movements. What is the role of media in upholding the status quo, and how can it be used to service people's movements instead of profits? This question lies at the heart of a long-ranging discussion between TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez and Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis.<br /><br /><a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/liztheo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rev.
