Episode 144 - RACISM IS RACISM. MEDIA COVERAGE IS TOO TAME.

In this edition of In The Ring With Eusebius McKaiser, I wear my
hat as a political analyst and review the coverage thus far of
what happened at a resort in Free State recently. 

I argue and explain how certain frameworks chosen by reporters,
sub-editors, and editors unwiittingly water down the seriousness
of racism. 

I also offer arguments in support of the view that editorial
choices are not value-neutral (just as writing and reporting are
not value-neutral speech acts). 

What we write, and how we edit, and frame stories, can reveal our
most deeply held political convictions, even when we genuinely
imagine ourselves to simply be "knocing into shape" a first
draft. 

It is, as always, up to listeners of the podcast to determine
whether and how much you agree with me. Or not.
