Seth Andrews idolized Rush Limbaugh. He listened to Glenn Beck. He read Ann Coulter. He watched Fox News. He was an evangelical Christian once tethered to right-wing media, which constantly warned of an attack on American values by liberals and secular humanists. Today, Seth is a liberal and secular humanist. This audiobook explores the Fox News culture, which both reflects and informs American conservatism, shaping public opinion on important issues like religion, government, race, foreign policy, war, protest, LGBT rights, and the Constitution.

Perché il sistema di copertura degli abusatori è ancora in piedi ed efficace, coinvolge decine e decine di preti e vescovi ed è tacitamente approvato da papa Francesco. Il podcast La Confessione ricostruisce come la Chiesa italiana silenzia le denunce delle vittime, copre i preti sotto accusa e nasconde lo scandalo. E sono loro, i preti, a raccontarlo. “Ho insabbiato questa storia”, dice il vescovo di Piazza Armerina Rosario Gisana, intercettato al telefono mentre parla con il prete ...

You are not an executive who can make and enforce decisions. You are a legislator who votes on making laws. You are not a counsellor, a housing officer, benefits clerk, bank or trading standards officer, but you are often expected to provide a new home, sort out benefits, provide a loan, or settle a dispute about a computer game bought for little Jimmy that doesn't work. You are, in fact, a 21st-century Member of Parliament representing about 125,000 good folk from your constituency....

Her days were ‘filled with routine, boredom and the occasional panic attack’. But soon after that first protest she joined the No More Page 3 campaign team.
