Ep 240: How the Media's "Burden," the "Straining Resources" Framing Manufactures the Expendable Other
from Citations Needed
In this episode, we discuss the ideological work done by our media's default frame of immigrants, poor seniors, homeless people, and those with disabilities as "burdens" and "strains" on our limited resources––namely those provided by the holy Taxpayer. Meanwhile, skyrocketing police and Pentagon budgets are just treated as unremarkable laws of nature. With guest Beatrice Adler-Bolton of the Death Panel podcast.
