Election 2020, History, and Media
Historian Peter Kuznick is the first guest; he makes the case for Americans to ‘hold their noses’ and vote for Joe Biden, while also expressing pessimism about the direction a Biden administration is likely to take. Then Victor Pickard returns to the show to examine commercial media’s superficial coverage of the election, as well as its failure on many other issues.
This program was recorded on November 4 and 5, after the presidential election, but before news services projected the winner.
Peter Kuznick is Professor of History at American University in Washington DC, and also directs AU’s Nuclear Studies Program (edspace.american.edu/nsi). He and Oliver Stone wrote the “The Untold History of the United States.”
Victor Pickard is Professor of Communication at the University of Pennsylvania,and co-director of the Media, Inequality and Change Center (mic.asc.upenn.edu). His most recent book is “Democracy Without Journalism?”
