Legacy News Worship Carney's Trade Blowup ft. Isaac A. Peltz (Podcast)

This week on The North State, I spoke to award-winning independent journalist behind On the Trail, Isaac A. Peltz about the news' reaction to the acrimonious end to a US Canada trade deal. RSS feed here. Apple Podcasts link here.

Description

Over the past few days, every large news outlet has reported about the last-minute collapse of a trade deal between Canada and the USA. Despite the fact that details of the deal have only trickled out through anonymous or second-hand channels, the majority of legacy news rallied around Carney and commended the prime minister on doing the hard task of pulling out of a deal. But little critical coverage of the methods, details and process of the trade negotiations leads most outlets to sycophantic levels of deference to Carney. Isaac A. Peltz, award-winning independent journalist behind On the Trail, joins Scott to dissect the nationalistic news climate that buries critical capacity to hide behind the flag.
