Avi Lewis? More like Avi LENIN! ft. Nora Loreto (Podcast)
On the NDP leadership vote and the media panic about Avi Lewis
This week on The North State, I spoke to independent journalist Nora Loreto about the NDP leadership conference and the legacy news media backlash RSS feed here. Apple Podcasts link here.
Description
The NDP selected Avi Lewis as their new leader after a conference this past weekend. After a long campaign that largely went under-reported due to the party's meagre seat count, we now have a federal party leader pushing for public options, scaling back fossil fuel production and backing peace on the world stage. Independent journalist Nora Loreto spent the weekend at the convention and joins Scott to discuss the vibes, the vote, their critiques and how legacy news has shown they don't care to know about left-wing politics at all.
