The Listening Post

After months of political turmoil in South Korea, President Lee Jae-myung says his government wants to bring some calm to the country – starting by trying to ease tensions with North Korea. @meenakshirv.bsky.social reports.
While mainstream media downplays Epstein’s numerous links to the Israeli government, more tenuous links to Russia are becoming increasingly conspicuous. @meenakshirv.bsky.social and Drop Site News’s Murtaza Hussain take us through the story.
On the show this week: • After Charlie Kirk’s killing, a crackdown is underway in the US • Israel accuses the UN of sympathising with Hamas...again — and very few people are buying it • How Donald Trump injected unpredictability into Russia’s war on Ukraine Watch now ▶️ youtu.be/S2l0czCH7G8
Despite constantly getting fact-checked and drawing sharp criticism for its content, the Israeli government’s official Farsi-language account on X has become a crucial part of its propaganda efforts. Tariq Nafi reports on the other front in Israel’s war.
Another tortured round of Gaza ceasefire negotiations, another set of headlines laying the blame solely on Hamas. Julie Norman and Tahani Mustafa spoke with us about the collapse of the talks and the media narratives surrounding them. Watch the full report ▶️ youtu.be/pusIlN5bgHA
“The idea that maybe these organisations have some form of a role in the highest halls of power…there’s no level of accountability.” @premthakker.bsky.social and Yumna Patel spoke with us about the organisations helping Trump deport pro-Palestinian voices. Full report ▶️ youtu.be/wYWFTeLup9Y
More than 920 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire was announced last October. The media’s disinterest in a slow but steadily rising death toll is allowing the violence in Gaza to continue with far less scrutiny. Richard Gizbert reports.
A new AI-generated website unveiled by an Israeli minister claims to “uncover the hidden ties” between Palestinian journalists and Hamas. Sloppiness aside, it follows a pattern of dangerous smears against Palestinians. Tariq Nafi reports.
Sudan’s civil war has displaced more than 13 million people and killed up to 150,000. Reporting is sparse… but the coverage that has trickled out bears striking similarities to Israel’s genocide in Gaza. @meenakshirv.bsky.social has the details.
On the show this week: • The lies following the ICE killings in Minnesota • TikTok under the control of American owners is as censorious - maybe more - than it was under Chinese ownership • Disinformation-driven violence in Bangladesh ahead of its elections Watch ▶️ youtu.be/nmqjsZWMGa0

The SAVE Act is patriarchy in policy form. It targets women who changed their names, then dares them to produce perfectly matching passports and birth certificates or lose their vote. Screw that. Call your senators. Keep SAVE dead and vote no on any version. #NoPayToVoteSaveAct
