Honestly with Bari Weiss - Courage in the Face of Book Burners

Abigail Shrier is a lawyer, a reporter and author of Irreversible Damage. One way to describe her book would be: controversial. She has been accused of spreading misinformation by GLAAD. A prominent ACLU lawyer called for her book to be banned. A favorable review of the book in Science-Based Medicine ignited an online mob, which led to the journal disappearing that first review and replacing it with a negative one. Amazon and Target have also been pressured to stop carrying Shrier's book.


But it hasn’t worked. Despite being ignored by outlets like the New York Times Book Review, Irreversible Damage is an enormous bestseller. Some readers felt so passionately about this book that they took out billboards advertising it on their own dime.


Both the subject that Abigail writes about and the treatment of her book deserve your attention.

What Could Go Right? - Building a Better Internet with Danielle Keats Citron and Eli Pariser

Together they share their views on the Internet's current trajectory and how we might course correct.


What Could Go Right? is produced by The Progress Network and The Podglomerate.
