"(In bed with) the Russians" offers a provocative and deeply critical analysis of global politics, media, and societal structures, often viewed through a geopolitical lens. Hosted by Yasha Levine, the podcast dissects documentaries, current events, and historical narratives to expose underlying power dynamics, systemic corruption, and the perceived failures of traditional journalism. Episodes delve into topics ranging from the efficacy of investigative reporting and the mythology of media figures like Sy Hersh and Laura Poitras, to the broader implications of consumerism, industrial civilization, and the politics of technology, including AI. With a cynical yet intellectually rigorous tone, the show challenges conventional wisdom, providing an anti-establishment perspective for listeners interested in critical theory, international relations, and the intersection of information, power, and societal decay. It's for those who question the narratives presented by mainstream media and seek a more profound understanding of the forces shaping our world.
