Podcast: Kevin Gosztola On The Disinfo Detox, Hosted By Nolan Higdon

Dissenter editor Kevin Gosztola appeared on the podcast The Disinfo Detox, which is hosted by Nolan Higdon.

Nolan is a writer, author of "The Anatomy of Fake News: A Critical News Literacy Education," and a lecturer at Merrill College and the Education Department at University of California, Santa Cruz. He also is a Project Censored National Judge.

During the episode, Nolan invited Kevin to discuss the Israeli government's assassination of Anas al-Sharif. He also asked Kevin to reflect on the unprecedented prosecution of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and how Western press often acted indifferently toward this attack on journalism before President Donald Trump's second term.

Trump officials have accelerated an assault on freedom of the press to bolster their consolidation of executive power. At the end of the show, Kevin comments on what it is like as an independent journalist to work in the present political climate.
