CNN's John Miller

This week on CounterSpin: Journalist-turned-cop-turned-journalist-turned-cop-turned-journalist John Miller ([link removed]) makes a blur of the revolving door. For years, he's been back and forth between the New York Police Department (and the FBI) and news media like ABC. And now he's the new hire ([link removed]) at CNN. Don't miss the message: For corporate media, being a paid flack for the police in no way disqualifies you to offer what viewers will be assured is a dry-eyed analysis of law enforcement patterns and practices. The hire is part of CNN's rebranding under new leadership; the major stockholder cites Fox News as an exemplar. But while it's tempting to say CNN is acting like the kid who imagines his bully will let up if he offers both his and his little brother's lunch money, the harder truth is that
CNN knows it won't attract or appease Fox or Fox viewers. So we should focus less on how one network "counters" the other than on whom they're both ready to throw under the bus—in this case, Muslims. We'll talk about the Miller hire with Sumayyah Waheed, senior policy counsel at Muslim Advocates ([link removed]) .

Atlantic: Lowering the Cost of Insulin Could Be Deadly

Atlantic (9/5/22 ([link removed]) )

Also on the show: Listeners may have seen the "just asking questions, don't get mad" Atlantic article ([link removed]) about how it might make sense to keep pricing insulin out of the reach of diabetics because, wait, wait…hear me out. (The idea was that if insulin winds up cheaper than newer, better drugs, more people might die.) Other outlets are musing ([link removed]) about how higher unemployment might be the best response to higher prices. Why are we doing thought experiments about hurting people? Implied scarcity—"obviously we can't do all the things a society needs, so let's discuss what to jettison"—is a whole vibe that major media could upend, but instead enable. We'll talk about how that's playing out in coverage of inflation ([link removed]) with Chris Becker, associate director of policy and
research and senior economist at the Groundwork Collaborative ([link removed]) .
