It's not just in domestic #US coverage that our #media is complicit with the abuse of power.

#Pakistan is one clear, decades-long example of this.

We create and maintain the "problem", then demonize our victims, everywhere in the world.

"Divorcing mainstream #American #news #media, an institution, from the institutions of #AmericanPower, like #ForeignPolicy, requires an entire remanufacturing of the #NewsIndustry itself."

"Creating caricatures dehumanizes people"

Next was an enlightening panel on the genesis of Pakistan's digital ID system at Brown with Zeha Hashmi, Aasim Khan, Dwaipayan Banerjee, and Russell Newman. This wide-ranging conversation shows the conscious choices that went into building one of the world's most comprehensive digital ID systems, the social choices that went into its design, and its implications.
