Genocide for sale & the end of legacy Media | Ahmed Shihab-Eldin

In this unflinching episode of The Tea with Myriam François, we sit down with journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin to confront the media’s complicity in power — and the price of telling the truth. From abused children to erased journalists, this is a brutal exposé on how mainstream media narratives are shaped, sanitised, and sold. We break down how coverage of Gaza and Palestinian lives is distorted — and why "mistake" is the media’s favourite euphemism for mass murder. We go far beyond headlines to expose: 🛑 The media’s “mistake” machine: how Israel’s atrocities are rebranded as accidents 🛑 How are journalists IN Gaza exploited by Western outlets? 🛑 What’s behind the media’s blind loyalty to the Israeli narrative? 🛑 The Francesca Albanese Report and the complicity of tech giants 🛑 The collapse of international law This episode lays bare the dehumanisation of Palestinians — and the imperialist playbook behind the headlines. This isn’t a conversation just about media bias — it’s about the fight for truth in an age of surveillance, censorship, and soft fascism. 👉 Subscribe for more bold conversations:    / @thetea_network   🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts. #TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #GazaGenocide #FrancescaAlbanese #AlbaneseReport #Palestine #TechAndViolence #SurveillanceCapitalism #ArmsTrade #InternationalLaw #WarEconomy #CorporateComplicity #TruthToPower CREDITS Presenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam François Guest: Ahmed Shihab-Eldin Senior producer: Sara Farolfi Producer: Nadège Bizimungu Assistant producer: Poppy Jacobs Video Editor: Max Bubnov An MPWR Productions show. 🎥 Click to watch.
