We’ve all been seeing it the past two weeks. Media bias, misinformation, disinformation, and agenda-driven international coverage of the g*n0c!de happening in G*za. While the media war escalates by the minute, we sit with strategic communications experts Jad Shahrour and Ralph Baydoun to dissect the hidden political agendas behind the propaganda we are witnessing and what we can do about it. In this #Sardeafterdinner, we discuss: 

-What is Hasbara- !sr@el’s perfect propaganda?  

-Ali Baba & the 40 “b*headed” babies 

-Is the global media narrative becoming Pro-P@le$t!ne? 

-Misinformation & Disinformation in the media war 

-Meta and other platforms’ censorship: Tricking the Algo

-The murder of Issam Abdullah and the chaotic coverage that followed

طغى انتشار المعلومات المزيفة والمضللة والتحيز والأجندات الإعلامية على تغطية الإب*دة في غز*ة في الأسبوعين الماضيين. في ظل تصاعد الحرب الإعلامية كل يوم على مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي وكافة الوسائل، نغوص مع خبيري التواصل الاستراتيجي جاد شحرور ورالف بيضون في الأجندات السياسية المخفية وراء البروباغندا التي نشاهدها، كما الأساليب التي يمكننا استخدامها لمواجهتها. في هذه الحلقة من #سردة، نناقش: 

-ما هي الهسبرة وما علاقتها بالدعاية الإسرائ*لية؟ 

-علي بابا والأربعون طفلا -هل يتغير توجه الإعلام العالمي ليصبح داعما لفلسط*ن؟ 

-المعلومات الخاطئة والمضللة في الحرب الإعلامية 

-رقابة ميتا ومنصات غيرها: كيف نخدع الخوارزميات؟ 

-قتل عصام عبدالله والتغطية الفوضوية التي تلته

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
