Listening Post - News Divide: James Foley: Journalism or propaganda?

Not just because it feels good, but the coverage will be better and the fourth estate will benefit overall. It was borne out of this existential loneliness that I felt as a child. I remember most of my childhood as sitting by myself playing solitaire, listening to Starship on the radio. I think I grew up with this sense that I was alone in the world and I think a lot of my adult life has been a search for community.

As a mixed-race kid and only child, the question of identity when you don't look like anybody else is sort of fraught. This was my attempt to find my people and unpack the story that had been handed down to me. My father was this devout Roman Catholic and about midway through this research I was at a family reunion paddleboarding on a lake with my cousin and he said, "Well, you know we're Jewish, right?

Anybody who gets into the story of where you came from will inevitably find snags. This is is me pulling at those snags. The Burmese Rohingya crisis has been an unfolding slowly for a number of years. My mom is a practicing Buddhist, I always thought how could it be possible that a Buddhist country could be doing this to its own citizens. Then I started to do research into my own family and started to better understand Burmese nationalism. We traditionally understand the old world in these glowing romanticized terms.

I felt like it was really important to explain that things weren't halcyon, perfect, rose-tinted, that there were very real problems that were left behind that have very real consequences in the modern era, and that nationalism and tribalism isn't unique to this particular moment, but it is something that has plagued countries and families around the world.

We're all a little bit broken in some way, and that's unifying in some way in and of itself. Yes, and I learned more about this country too.

My father said growing up in Iowa in a northeast town on the Mississippi River, there were no people of color. I had accepted that unquestioningly; it's just Iowa. But then you begin to think, why weren't there people of color? Part of the reason is we drove the people of color who originally owned the land off the land and we prevented other people of color from coming to the country.

When his people went over there in the s, the Winnebago had just been kicked off the land. And it's just not something that ever intersected with my family's story. These are really simple truths that are readily accessible and yet nobody actually tries to find them or dig deeper into them. There are a lot of parts about Steve Bannon that are worthy of investigation, but he has a sixth sense for American politics and it is borne of deep conviction and philosophy.

I always want to interview John Boehner. Especially now where he's just drinking merlot and smoking.

He's a fascinating figure in American politics. He represents the split of the old Republican party with the new. Knowing I'll never get it, but she has an incredible story. Someday, I hope she'll tell it — to me, or anybody.
