The Project Censored Show - 3-3-26

Program Summary: Eleanor Goldfield and Mickey Huff host this week’s program.

First up this week, Mexico City-based journalist José Luis Granados Ceja joins the show to talk about the recent Mexican operation that captured and killed a notorious cartel kingpin, and how US corporate media is twisting this story to not only give the US undue credit but to further the dangerous and dehumanizing rhetoric of Mexicans as villains. José Luis also digs into Mexico / US relations and how regional solidarity is needed in order to address the violent grandstanding by the US.

Next up, Mickey sits down again with media analyst Nolan Higdon to dig into the latest in the Epstein files including the disturbing lack of accountability, the spectacle of the slow release of information, deconstructing propaganda around the files, and more.
