Nov 6, 2025 - News Media and the Far Right

When: November 6th, 5pm
Where: George Vari Engineering & Computing, 245 Church St

The influence of news coverage on the rise of far-right ideologies is undeniable. Capitalism's Safety Net investigates how the liberal media--often seen as a force for democracy--can, in fact, reinforce authoritarian, ultra-nationalist, xenophobic, racist, and reactionary politics. By tracing the connections between dominant ideology, capitalist crises, and the political economy of the news industry, this book exposes how mass media systems often serve to legitimize far-right movements while undermining radical left-wing alternatives. Moving beyond media critique, it offers a deeper analysis of how the capitalist mode of production shapes the very frameworks through which information, power, and ideology circulate.

Speakers:
