Professor of media and Africana Studies at Morgan State University Dr. Jared Ball, responds to Norman Finkelstein’s recent debate with Briahna about whether the assassinations of civil rights activists and politicians in the 60s had a significant effect on left movements of the time. But first, after mentioning last year’s episode on Oscar-winner American Fiction, the pair get sucked into a lengthy media critique of Superman, Judas & the Black Messiah, and the new Sydney Sweeney American Eagle jeans ad that’s been described as "eugenic." Can popular media of any kind can ever really be radical?

Cato's Clark Neily and Mike Fox give the most recent SCOTUS term a B- grade on criminal law. While they celebrate some unanimous victories like Barnes v. Felix (requiring courts to consider totality of circumstances in police use-of-force cases) and Martin v. United States (allowing federal tort claims against law enforcement), they express frustration with the Court's repeated refusal to hear cases involving the "petty offense doctrine," appellate waivers in plea bargains, and felon-in-possession gun laws—all issues with clear circuit splits that affect large numbers of people.
The episode concludes with a celebration of Fox's efforts that led to presidential pardons for John Moore and Tanner Mansell, achieving justice where the courts failed.

And the continuing disgrace of the New York Times and its coverage of Gaza, with a second fraudulent photo "proving" starvation in two months. Give a listen.
