Ep#9: Public HELLth, with Walker Bragman

The ReSisters have a compelling and frank conversation with investigative reporter and Executive Director of the Accountability Journalism Institute (AJI), Walker Bragman.They discuss with Walker the current and ongoing need for independent and trustworthy journalism, the immense political influence on public health in the U.S. and around the globe, and the dangerous impacts of groups like the Brownstone Institute on public health information, messaging and government policy. Christine and MJ also get Walker’s perspectives on the evolution of right-wing narratives, especially during the pandemic, genocide in the trans community, and the rise of fascism. And, as always, The ReSisters pull out where the hope is - to help us all keep swimming.Additional Resources:AIER (mentioned) = American Institute for Economic ResearchFAIR = Fairness & Accuracy in ReportingWalker Bragman | SubstackAJI - Accountability Journalism InstituteOlivia Riggio – Deputy Director Accountability Journalism InstituteExperts Warn U.S. in Early Stages of Genocide Against Trans Americanshttps://www.pastemagazine.com/politics/poverty/be-more-human-fighting-homelessness-on-the-front-l(Public Health, Media Influence, Democracy, Right-Wing, Accountability Journalism, Independent Journalism, Brownstone Institute, COVID-19, Pandemic, Propaganda, Political Influence, US Politics, Global Politics, Partisan Voting, Fascism, Transgender, Genocide, Disinformation, Activism)
