Resource Wars in Congo: How to Whitewash a Genocide
For the first segment of the program, Eleanor welcomes back Eugene Puryear; this week he explains the latest developments in the deadly multiplayer fight over the mineral wealth of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). He also calls out the inattention of English-language Western media to the conflict, despite its massive toll upon the Congolese people.
Then Mickey Huff joins Eleanor for a discussion of the ongoing efforts of corporate media (especially the New York Times) to slant their Gaza coverage to favor Israel. Mickey and Eleanor also speak about a new study that examines how Americans' choice of media correlates with their opinions about Gaza.
Eugene Puryear is an independent journalist, political organizer, and electoral candidate. He's the author of "Shackled and Chained: Mass Incarceration in Capitalist America."

4-6 AM
Continuing our trial run of MOATS, the Mother of All Talk Shows, with MP George Galloway. This is a delayed broadcast, as is the case with Thom Hartmann as well, so you can't call in live during the show. Let us know what you think about this tryout, email comments at k p f k dot org, or go to our website and fill out the listener survey there. Galloway himself is back with a report on his audience with Pope Francis, interviews with an Iranian academic regarding the crash landing of a helicopter carrying the Iranian president and foreign minister (whose deaths were verified after the program took place), and an examination of the war in Ukraine. He took listener calls including several from the US, and gave a couple of additional shout-outs to KPFK along with reporting on his latest on-line poll via Telegram, X (FKA twitter), and YouTube about sending more military aid to Ukraine.
