| 0:00.0 | Hello American Prestige listeners. It's Derek, and I am here to talk briefly about something that is happening at the nation today, something very special that they're doing. I'm joined by Jack Murkinson, |
| 0:21.1 | who is senior editor at the nation. Jack, thank you for coming on. Thank you so much for having me. |
| 0:26.2 | We are always happy to promote good work being done at the nation, and that's not just because |
| 0:31.4 | the nation promotes our podcast, but it's not purely a quid pro quo, but no, really, this is a great project that you guys are doing. |
| 0:39.3 | Why don't you tell people what's going on today? |

| 1:48.4 | declared last October. There was a recent study from the Media Watch Group Fair that found that |
| 1:56.7 | there has been the lowest level of coverage in the past few months since the genocide began in |
| 2:03.0 | 2023. And this is despite the fact that Gaza remains in just about as much chaos and catastrophe |
| 2:13.8 | as it ever has. And so, I mean, just this past weekend, Israel killed 30 people in a bombing in Gaza. |
| 2:24.2 | I mean, everything, including the violence, the hunger, the dispossession, the displacement, |
| 2:31.3 | is ongoing. |
| 2:32.3 | And we wanted to not only highlight that, |
| 2:37.5 | but to try and remind our readers |
