What the Media Isn’t Telling You about ISIS, Syria & Iran, w/ Philippe Assouline
Have ISIS, Iran and the ongoing Syrian refugee crisis in the Middle East been oversimplified by the media? Philippe Assouline explores how Obama’s nuclear deal has shifted the focus away from Iran’s volatile human rights record and onto US military tactics, plus how a tricky relationship with multiculturalism in Europe has created a sensitive and fragile political climate, in this Antidote hosted by Michael Parker.
