Short Cuts is a weekly media criticism show where our hosts talk shit about the news.
Short Cuts
Hosted by Jesse Brown and Jonathan Goldsbie

As news breaks of a temporary ceasefire in Gaza, Emilie Nicolas and Mattea Roach discuss anti-Palestinian media bias in media as well as look at the deaths of over 50 journalists in the region.
