Those are the top stories are more news coming up a bit later after the listening post which starts now. Postulates it is 1st of all. Just for a structure. To be practiced all this country i think that i and i. Are here to do at the bank is that there are questions that. Oh. Hello richard yes martin youre at the listening post here are some of the media stories that were covering this week the british Prime Minister in waiting for us johnson a reporter turned politician who is now running circles around journalist. And has made this neighbor of his hip hop mad donald trump and the Rape Allegation given short shrift by American News outlets and iran just aint what it used to be the persian t. V. Channel based overseas the traffic in this culture Boris Johnson the odds on favorite to become britains next Prime Minister had one distinct advantage going into the race to succeed to reason that name recognition when the u. K. Media dropped that name boris britains know exactly who theyre talking about as it happens the News Business is where johnson got his start where his troublesome relationship with the facts 1st surfaced back in the late 1980 s. After getting fired from his 1st reporting job for inventing a quote johnson wound up as a correspondent in brussels where he produced a slew of flimsy euro skeptic stories that readers found amusing stories that could well have sowed seeds in peoples minds for an eventual brax it fast forward 30 odd years and there was johnson a key asset on the leave side in the tooth. 1016 Referendum Campaign saying the same kinds of things about the e. U. As a politician that he wants to add as a journalist these days the british media finally seem to have clued into the fact that entertainment value isnt everything that Boris Johnson falls dangerously short of the qualifications for the job but he already has one foot in the door of 10 downing street so theres no awakening is looking like too little too late our starting point this week is london. We live in populist times in 2016 americans elected a former reality t. V. Star a triumph of soundbites over substance to the white house. Last year italians voted a party formed by a comedian Beppe A Grillo into a Coalition Government 2 months ago ukrainians elected another comedian from optimism lenski president in alliance. Where does britains Boris Johnson fit in these parts entertainer like donald trump part comedic side show like grillo and selenski or as one british columnist put it johnson is a character which lets him get away with things a serious politician wouldnt mr johnsons seriousness in short is most effective political weapon and thats a pro johnson voice writing in a paper that wants him to be Prime Minister. And comes across as a amiable buffoon in a long tradition of upper middle class british characters its not really what its like at all hes a ruthless issues the idea that Boris Johnson gets up in the morning looks in of the earth so what can i do for the common man today is palpable. Hes concerned only with his own advancement is a huge opportunist but he also has engaged in really really talk forms of politics legislation that is detrimental to marginalized people and. Immigrants and that is overlooked in favor of thinking about him is this character a fun person were facing the same problems that the american press. Facing with trying. Hard you hold to account and. Incredibly difficult because our. Very. Only and theyre overwhelmingly right wing and you can see concerted elements of the press working together to promote which is. Johnson is well aware that most of the u. K. Print media do have his back but not all of them and when the guardian broke a story this past week that a neighbor of johnsons overheard a domestic argument between him and his girlfriend and was concerned enough to call the police johnsons carefully calibrated amiable buffoon act was put to the test on the airwaves can you just tell us what your part. Is trying to. Think that story dominated coverage of johnson this past week at the expense of another significant expose last year reports emerged that johnson was being advised by steve band the old right former white house operative who has ties to White Supremacists banham was reportedly behind President Trumps efforts to ban muslims from entering the u. S. Johnson repeatedly denied that he and bannon were working together but just last week this video of the band came out shot in july of last year. To give a speech in. Coming to the lets go through he just went back to the Daily Telegraph as a columnist. Talking to him or we can about the speech carol card wallet broke that story in the observer Isabelle Oakshott is a former Political Editor at the time a paper that has employed johnson they see this story in distinctly different ways you know i email bars johnsons press it to get a comment and 1st of all he said its just not true and then i said well you know weve got we know weve got video saying otherwise and then he said come back and instead he came back and said oh its just all ridiculous conspiracy they dropped it in oil i mean this is all nonsense i dont think boris has a particularly close relationship with Steve Bannon Boris knows all sorts of people and sure hes taking and listening to advice from the wide variety of characters some more reputable than others but it doesnt mean that theres some kind of conspiracy cooked up here to take World Politics legend to the right. Perhaps not but less than a month after bannon made those comments about working with johnson mentioning the Daily Telegraph this appeared in the paper a column written by Johnson Trumpy and in tone and content saying that muslim women who wear the niqab look like letter boxes and bank robbers. We dont know all the specifics of the relationship between Boris Johnson and been the other way it doesnt matter what matters is that he is trading that play the same kind of politics that Boris Johnson likes to ramp up the hatred toward certain groups of people at particular times that this moment a patriot towards muslims which is an existing sentiment in. The Daily Telegraph and Boris Johnson have a relationship that goes back decades one that has had an impact on British Journalism and politics johnson made his name as the papers brussels correspondent from 1989 to 94. 00 there he hit on a formula filing stories on the arcane bureaucracy of the e. U. Pointless regulations that supposedly mandated the size of bananas and condoms or threatened to make some of britains favorite snack foods illegal that the stories bore little relationship to the truth was of no apparent concern to johnson or the paper employing him johnsons reporting helped set the tone for the way the e. U. Was seen in the u. K. And eventually for the bracks that referendum of 2060. What Boris Johnsons euro skeptic journalism did was the simmering your skepticism within the conservative party. But possibly more important it set the tone for 25 years of british Media Coverage of europe because every news editor in fleet street thought that what Boris Johnson was producing was much more interesting than the usual grade dull fare that came out of brussels and they demanded the same i know this because i was a brussels correspondent for 3 years myself at the end of the 1990 s. So come the referendum. The referendum wasnt lost in those 5 weeks whatever it was in june 26th seen it to be lost over the previous 25 years can we blame Boris Johnson for britains fundamental euro skepticism tracing that back to a couple of decades ago almost when boris was churning out these ludicrous stories exaggerated stories it was a colorful made great copy and people lacked a top but im sure also people took it with a little bit of a pinch of salt. Boris johnsons ongoing relationship with the telegraph remains central to his political ambitions because the current Prime Minister to resign may resign before her term was up her successor will be selected on july 23rd not in a general election but by the conservative Party Membership and until then the telegraph will continue to provide Boris Johnson with a weekly platform a direct pipeline to the 160000 conservative Party Faithful who will choose britains next Prime Minister. The Daily Telegraph is the bible of the conservative party. And our next Prime Minister is being chosen not by the British Public but by the north point 25 percent of the electorate who happen to be tory Party Members so his column in the Daily Telegraph is immensely important to him i think its quite extraordinary to me it reaches every. The code of journalistic ethics i cannot understand how he or the telegraph gets away but. If the politician and the paper do get away with it it will be because the line between politics and the press in the u. K. Between those elected and those supposedly holding them to account has long been blurred by mutual selfinterest. Boris johnson is just the latest beneficiary of that and if the polls prognosticators and bookmakers have got it right hell ride that relationship all the way to 10 downing street. Were discussing other media stories that are on our radar this week with one of our producers flo philips slow were still almost a year and a half away from the u. S. President ial elections in 2020 but the campaigns are up and running there were those 2 televised debates on the Democratic Party side this past week but the coverage seems to be overshadowed by coverage of President Trump which once again seems to be falling short in the u. S. News media yes richard that very same u. S. Media same network same papers that have done a lot of selfexamination about mistakes they made mistakes that could well have played a part in trumps 2016 victory now 2 years into his presidency it seems that much the media is still struggling with how to deal with him say this past week no shortage of potentially explosive material over which to question him lots and lots of stories about the inhumane conditions at those Detention Centers down on the border with mexico and yet when trump sat down for an interview with n. B. C. s chuck todd on meet the press told let him get away with some blatant lies but i ended separation i inherited separation from president obama now trump has said that the. For blaming president obama for those family separation policies but hes been knocked down not only did todd let him get away with that but the meet the press twitter account later posted a tweet echoing trumps lie before eventually posting a 2nd tweet noting that trumps claim is false and all that from a program that used to be one of the holidays hitting Political Interview shows on the american at waves usually tropper trucks saturation levels of News Coverage when that doesnt happen its actually noticeable and there was one such case this past week where the follow on power verge of an allegation didnt really hit the mark far from it rich just over a week ago the advice columnist carol published an extract in new York Magazine an extract from her upcoming book in it she accuses President Trump of raping she says that he attacked her in the dressing room of the Department Store back in the 1990 s. Now thats front page news for most people not it seems for many of the top newspaper editors the only one that gave it top billing was the Washington Post the New York Times ran the story in its book section treating it as a story about an upcoming memoir and not a Rape Allegation against a sitting president on the t. V. Side carol did appear on m s n b c but none of the Major Networks a. B. C. C. B. S. N. B. C. Fox devoted more than a passing reference to the story Brian Stelter whos the host of reliable sources the media analysis show on c. N. N. So theres a theory about media fatigue fatigue that is about now more than 20 allegation of trumps harassment and sexual abuse of women its media fatigue now what kind of hope do we have for the coverage that were going to get down the road we are still almost 18 months from these elections ok thanks flow. The latest stare down between washington and tehran over iran shooting down of that u. S. Drone made for plenty of scary headlines the threats of military retaliation from President Trump eventually came to nothing but this is a situation that is being closely followed by oppositional iranian groups including crown prince reza pox levy the son of the former shah of iran the prince has recently offered many an exclusive interview to western news outlets presenting himself as a credible democratic successor to iran islamic leadership that is debatable given that the princes father ran an authoritarian regime protected by a brutal force of secret police until he was toppled in 1979 however the monarchy remains popular in large segments of the iranian media diaspora channels like the u. K. Based minoa toe t. V. B. B. C. Persian the is stamboul based gem t. V. And t. V. Which comes out of los angeles those channels have pioneered a shondra of programming you might call the stage of t. V. Documentaries and entertainment shows that skate right past the repression of the shahs reign and focus on the social freedoms of those times the listening posts i mean actually ravi now on the iranian media diaspora its penchant for an astrologer and the rose tenting of irans pre revolutionary history. Every friday night my new t. V. A persian language Satellite Channel based in london invites viewers to turn back the clock sal and thats when theres a month or so made it into nearly is our money or time time no delivers a feast of archival footage showcasing life even on under its last shot Mohammad Reza pahlavi. What the u. S. See is a vision of a liberal and stylish it on led by a benevolent king its enough to make you wonder why the. 1979 revolution and the overthrow of the shah ever happened you see women out and about in the beach on University Campuses in the workplace participating in sports images of the shah and his wife his 3rd wife usually the empress. Always looking very beautiful looking very glamorous the idea is look at how how beautiful and happy and fashionable everybody was in the past and like how we are now what i am. And i found it quite extraordinary when i visited iran a few years ago to find out that almost every person in iran was familiar with monitor what guarantee the channel success was the access to run Archive Footage from the period before the revolution thats moscow boffin mcwillie as well because i knew about ansari has such a loss to bessie already that i knew about what i was manner toward started it. Broadcasts for audiences inside iran to provide them with entertainment and news that they would otherwise not receive certainly all the channels inside iran are censored certain topics are taboo. Manito provided those topics such as monica which has been the biggest. When anatole launched in 2010 it entered an already crowded market iranian Media Outlets broadcasting in exile. The 1st we will get on an immigration took place in the lead up to the 1979 revolution. Mass protests against the shah his oppressive government and his brutal secret police the sock would bring him down. The Popular Uprising eventually coalesced behind the countrys new leader Ayatollah Khomeini and in 1979 the Islamic Republic was born. Many iranian immigrants ended up in los angeles which became a hub for persian Media Production in the eightys after that wherever iranians were migrating to new Media Outlets were taking root the acts of t. V. Of the eightys was very raw it was very immediate so they were appealing to nostalgia literally yesterday or you know just last year a few years ago and they were also appealing to the sense of loss and unrooted ness that that folks were feeling as as new exiles their programming was mostly music and films and then some politics when Satellite Technology emerged and there was a possibility to broadcast and iran you saw that shift and more of an emphasis on political content and calls for action and calls for even revolution the channels that come out of los angeles the diaspora channels are of a virtually political clearly very anti Islamic Republic in terms of their output many of them on a case certainly very nationalist and theyre so political in that regard with so obvious where the direction is that i think their impact is probably less about you know it is you know saw a gift or for the. Last name get a thank you in massive. Those channels that have a less. Clear political agenda and really have a more of an entertainment agenda i think they have Great Attraction in iraq. After early came jim t. V. In istanbul and farsi one in the by these channels added turkish and mexican soap operas dubbed often poorly into persian to the mix then came monotone out of london monotone stock in trade is entertainment laced with nostalgia politics isnt absent from its programming its misshapen fisted glossier they produced a very influential documentary on the founder of the pan of dentistry reza shah its a largely sanitized reading of the rain has to be said but as a hyundai entirety. And then i am yet to me when i should and is very rosy its very positive there obviously producing an agenda but its done in a quite subtle way its not so overt is to put people off immediately. Then they are never the. Short taliban hamish i can order back. The Younger Generation have the impression that before the revolution there was no poverty in iran. And certainly monitor would not discuss the survivor torture or the censorship of cinema or newspapers and the parliament or just of the iranian government flexibly chooses footage to create a very negative image of that time monitor cherrypick glorious and beautiful archives do not provide a true picture of historical reality to us on earth believes in a manner to which. According to some who run the aspirator Media Outlets like mezzanine and sorry the managing editor of the k. Hunt london website promonarchy output is fulfilling a real audience demand for us in. Every single time that we put anything to do with monica with reza shah with in on one with reza pahlavi the clicks go up high there is a demand its not as if we are providing them with the sanitized version people wanted because they look at back at history and they see in those days they were proud a proud nation the source of monitors funding is a mystery and the channel itself wont talk about its large budget the Unanswered Questions have spoiled numerous theories that the cia the b. B. C. The saudi government the pile of the family or the Islamic Republic itself are all possible backers of the channel we wrote to mother to requesting an interview regarding its finances and programming back saying they have a strict policy of not speaking with other Media Outlets this is one thing that journalists do one word does manage to get its funding for us and then a lot of iranians provide us with funds but they dont want their names to be no mandatory as well as certainly if you come and ask me who are my funders i will not tell you its a very tough market and why should manito tell people who which iranians are funding. The truck administration has been tightening the screws on a dime unilaterally exiting the nuclear deal agreed to by more than 30 countries up economic sanctions and ratcheting up the rhetoric irans leaders so k. O. s. Death. And destruction. Monarchists and there are many more outside iran than inside sense that now is a time of opportunity the u. S. Based country. Son of the shah clearly agrees hes been making himself available by pieces in the western press interviews on the u. S. Government sponsored radio farda talk of the. Met broadcasts in pushing into iran and adding to the output of all those diaspora t. V. Outlets and as u. S. Pressure the sanctions and the threats squeezes the Islamic Republic the autocratic tendencies of the countrys ruling is only helping make the case for some kind of alternative this nostalgia has been generated by the Islamic Republic itself rather than than the basically creating a new generation to test the prerevolution pair theyve actually produced a new generation much more interested in what period is about now part of this to be honest this because even the worst aspects of the shah when it came to political repression for instance has been multiplied several times over by the Islamic Republic what people are producing is Popular History for the masses its not necessarily good history i have to tell you but its population thats going out and people are lapping up. Finally back to Boris Johnson and that fight he had with his girlfriend last week that caused such a stir here in the commotion of one of his neighbors who happens to be a rapper called too many headed outside to see what all the fuss was about and ended up getting swarmed by papa razzi he decided it was the Perfect Moment to offer up a little rap that hed been working on called boris next door now to. The press pack there the full version was comic so we got in touch and landed ourselves a World Exclusive well leave you now with a slice of next door and well see you next time. With. The book. Hello i Maryam Namazie in london just a quick look at the headlines u. S. President donald trump has proposed an impromptu meeting with kim jong un on sunday when he visits the Demilitarized Zone between north korea and south korea the offer came in a surprise tweet while he was attending the g. 20 summit in japan north korea has not said whether it will happen but described it as an interesting proposal trump is currently in the south korean capital as a guest of president than in as what dr reports from cell. President donald trump in seoul for his long anticipated visit with the future direction of relations with north korea in the balance. He is the guest of his south korean counterpart moon j. N.
