Added 2024-06-12 15:59:51 +0000 UTC

On this Citations Needed Live Show, recorded virtually on May 23, 2024, Adam and Nima discuss recent coverage of the campus protests over the ongoing genocide in Gaza, from the media's habit of pathologizing Zoomers to Biden's condescending implication they're just a foaming hate mob.

We were joined by guests Layla Saliba and Jonathan Ben-Menachem.
