On the Media Coverage of Civil War Film and Christian Nationalism
The NPR program "On the Media" hosted by Brook Gladstone is criticized for its framing of the film "Civil War" and its coverage of Christian nationalism. The hosts argue that the program treats the fictional film as a literal documentary of a post-Trump America. They further discuss the media's focus on "charismatic extremists" and specific flags associated with the January 6th Capitol riot.
