Jacobin Show: Why the Media Sucks w/ Matt Christman & AFSCME Contract Fight w/ Ernest Garrett

Every Wednesday at 6 PM ET, The Jacobin Show offers socialist perspectives on class and capitalism in the twenty-first century, the failures of liberalism, and the prospects of rebuilding a left labor movement in the US. This is the podcast version of the show from June 16, 2021 with Jen Pan and Paul Prescod hosting. Chapo Trap House co-host Matt Christman joins us to discuss the role of the media under capitalism and the rise of alternative outlets—but more importantly—why the politics surrounding the media matters less than you think. We're also joined by Ernest Garrett, president of AFSCME D.C. 33, to talk about the union's upcoming contract fight.
