About this episode
Hosts Rania Khalek and Kevin Gosztola spend most of the episode assessing the media coverage of John McCain's death from brain cancer. They focus on the myth of McCain that was promoted and pretty much adopted across the spectrum from Republicans to progressive Democrats. They read a few examples of the worst hagiography. Like did you know he wasn't only a "war hero" but also a ""? And he was even an "anti-racist hero" too? Toward the end of the episode, Gosztola talks about the national prison strike, and in particular, by the Marshall Project that promoted the organization's bias against prisoner-led resistance.
