  • The scramble to rewrite Biden's record on Gaza | The Listening Post

    The scramble to rewrite Biden's record on Gaza | The Listening Post
    Oct 11 2026
    Three years after the October 7 attacks and the start of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, there have been a slew of books, podcasts and media appearances revisiting what happened. Much of this is coming from former Biden officials who are trying to whitewash the administration's support for Israel and rehabilitate their reputations. They are being welcomed across mainstream media, whilst those with more critical accounts continue to struggle with invitations and access. Presenter: Richard Gizbert Contributors: Connor Echols – Managing editor, Responsible Statecraft Sarah Leah Whitson – Human rights lawyer Laura Albast – Fellow, Institute for Palestine Studies Akbar Shahid Ahmed – Diplomatic correspondent, The Washington Sun On our radar Hollywood’s big five studios became the big four this week. Skydance sealed one of the biggest media deals in history, buying Warner Bros Discovery, merging it with Paramount and taking control of a range of other outlets, including CNN. The Listening Post's Elettra Scrivo looks at how the deal will reshape the news business. Why is Nigel Farage suddenly receiving so much media scrutiny? Nigel Farage built his career on hardline anti-immigration rhetoric and has become one of the most recognisable names in British politics. The United Kingdom's Reform leader has been able to capitalise on what critics say has been a disproportionate amount of attention from the mainstream media. The Listening Post’s Meenakshi Ravi looks at the media that helped make Farage and the right-wing broadcaster that has become a platform for his political ambitions. Featuring: Banseka Kayembe – Founder, Naked Politics Carol Cadwalladr – Co-founder, The Nerve Oliver Dean – Assistant editor, Conservative Home

  • Netanyahu's fight to own the election narrative | The Listening Post

    Netanyahu's fight to own the election narrative | The Listening Post
    Oct 3 2026
    With elections one month away, the media discourse in Israel has narrowed in on one question about one man: What did Benjamin Netanyahu know before October 7? The prime minister is suing the Israeli newspaper that reported the claim, while the right-wing Channel 14 insists none of it matters. Missing from the coverage is any reckoning with what Israel has done in Gaza. Contributors: Dan Perry – Author, Ask Questions Later on Substack Diana Buttu – Human rights lawyer Ron Skolnik – Political consultant, Partners for Progressive Israel Yael Berda – Associate professor, Hebrew University of Jerusalem On our radar Donald Trump gathered some of the biggest names in AI this week and got them to agree to regulate themselves. Meenakshi Ravi examines the “morally binding” pact. Kidfluencers: The business of broadcasting childhood One of the most popular genres of online content these days is made by children – or rather, made of them. Family vlogging has become one of the internet’s most profitable genres. But questions remain over its stars’ labour protections and ability to consent to what is published about them. The Listening Post’s Tariq Nafi looks at the business of broadcasting childhood. Featuring: Caymi Barrett – Former child influencer Fortesa Latifi – Author, Like, Follow, Subscribe Sarah Adams – Founder, Mom.Uncharted
