The Liberal Class’s Ultimate Betrayal (w/ Jimmy Dore) | The Chris Hedges Report

Support my independent journalism at Substack: Follow me on social media: In his 2010 book, Death of the Liberal Class, Chris Hedges wrote “The fate of the liberal class is tragic. It has been annihilated by the corporate state it supported, while it willingly silenced radical thinkers and iconoclasts who could have rescued it.” There has been no time in American politics where this phenomenon has been more clear than today. In this episode of The Chris Hedges Report, host Chris Hedges talks to comedian Jimmy Dore about his reporting at the 2024 Democratic National Convention. The pair find the event illustrative of the past few decades of liberalism in American society, namely that its entire concept is not “reality based.” (0:00) Intro (2:59) Inside the 2024 DNC (7:15) The Obamas, the Dems and the Elites (16:02) The media and censorship (29:40) The reality of the two parties (39:09) Trump’s threat to the establishment (42:17) Gaza (47:08) The state of journalism and comedy
