#533 - Cinematic Civics Lesson
Michael and Us - A podcast by Luke Savage and Will Sloan, Jacobin
Categories:
When our politicians fail us, can journalism save us? We revisit George Clooney's GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK (2005), about Edward R. Murrow's battle with Joseph McCarthy, and get a lesson in how the liberal imagination remembers the Red Scare. PLUS: the rise of A.I. in the arts, and the state of the centre-left in Europe.
