#120: Greater & Lesser Ghouls of Babylon (feat. Ken Silverstein)
MJ is joined by the great Ken Silverstein of washingtonbabylon.com to discuss the absolutely pathetic job our journalistic institutions have done with the "fake news" era and some certain liars, errand boys, and scabs in particular.
(Music: Dr. John, "Babylon," from Babylon, 1969. My late RIP to a brilliant musician: if the only Dr. John you know is the genial self-parody of his later years, go out and get Gris-Gris, Babylon, Remedies, and The Sun, Moon, & Herbs immediately. Rest in your chosen vévé, Malcolm John Rebennack.)

"2024 is our turn" "Trump's not a complete captive of the oligarchy" "I can't take seriously people who see fascism in the US" Me in June of 25:🖕🏻
What's the take on Drop Site news? I'm looking at it now as maybe an opportunistic ploy by Scahill?
Man, this episode hits horribly in January 2025 😥.
Even wilder in late April! Jeffery Goldberg !!
Love that Dr John track.
I’m trying to find Ken’s article about The Intercept. Has it been taken down?
