🚨NEW ORCHARDCAST🚨 Adam Johnson joins me to discuss his new book, “How to Sell a Genocide,” which is on book shelves now. In it, he describes how the U.S. media was instrumental in creating a narrative that enabled Israel to commit genocide in Gaza.

Hi DC pals. We have the honor of @ahjohnson.bsky.social coming to our city to talk about his book “How to Sell a Genocide: The Media's Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza.” Come around this evening! withfriends.co/event/282038...

Finished How to Sell a Genocide by Adam H. Johnson on Audible. www.audible.com/pd/B0G4SQT6G... All these people belong in Hell

Now that I'm posting regularly I want to give a shout out to @ahjohnson.bsky.social & his excellent book "How to Sell a Genocide". Its infuriating to think about all those early episodes of bullshit again but its so important and his methodology is top notch. www.plutobooks.com/product/how-...

May I suggest a read? (It‘s a tough read) How To Sell A Genocide - The Media’s Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza. By Adam H. Johnson In a lot of cases it’s by omission of facts, how the media is complicit in dehumanizing the Palestinians.

In “How to Sell a Genocide” @ahjohnson.bsky.social has a whole chapter dedicated to “fuming/helpless Biden” that is meant to depict some hypothetical break or meaningful action that never comes to satiate liberal concerns. We are always approaching a break with Israel but somehow never reaching it

Je n'ai pas lu «How to sell a genocide», mais je lis @ahjohnson.bsky.social depuis longtemps et c'est un très bon critique des médias des É-U. Je suis convaincu que son livre est excellent. Entrevue d'une heure ici: Liberal Media Helped Destroy Gaza (avril 2026) www.youtube.com/watch?v=WA-y...
