Libby Emmons

Libby Emmons is senior editor at The Post Millennial and a senior contributor for The Federalist. In this episode, Emmons discusses the the ideological drive behind journalism today and how identity politics is sidelining critical thinking. Lucidly analysing the current media and political panorama, Emmons homes in on how identity has not only replaced discussions of class politics on the left, but paradoxically she notes how identity politics is being driven primarily by those within the upper class who benefit economically by paying it lip service all the while reaping the economic benefits of book deals, editorships, or professorships that belie any the reality of oppression.
