Max Blumenthal joined Scott on Antiwar Radio this week to talk about Matt Taibbi’s interview on MSNBC and what’s going on in Israel. They start with Matt Taibbi, who has been the subject of some serious heat from the establishment after his reporting brought attention to the scale of government censorship happening on social media. They talk about Medhi Hasan’s failed attempt to discredit Taibbi’s revelations in an incredibly hostile TV interview. Next they move to Israel. Scott has done some interviews recently about the disturbing developments in Israeli politics, but things have recently turned violent. Blumenthal explains what’s happening and helps us understand what it all means.  

Discussed on the show:

• Goliath by Max Blumenthal
• “Beware the Red Heifer” (Antiwar.com)

Director and writer of “Killing Gaza,” Max Blumenthal is a senior editor of the Grayzone Project and the author Goliath, Republican Gomorrah and The 51 Day War. Follow him on Twitter @MaxBlumenthal.
