Russell and Keaton from Due Dissidence return to Bad Faith to pick up where Zaid left off last week: The curious lacuna in journalist Matt Tabbi's coverage of censorship. As efforts to suppress pro-Palestine speech proliferate -- including the recent recruitment of the censorious Bari Weiss to influence the editorial direction at CBS -- Tabbi has offered a variety of explanations as to why he has declined to cover censorship stories that implicate the political right as perpetrators. The trio also revisit the Charlie Kirk killing and debate whether leftists should tone down jokes about Kirk's murder in order to avoid reputational damage.
