## Resource

Will Tucker and Augustine (Fourth Eclogue Substack - https://goodvirgil.substack.com/) join the Two Cities podcast to discuss his satirical essay on the cacophonous contemporary media landscape. https://substack.com/home/post/p-158779067 We consider: how many media figures function as Synagogue discourse gatekeepers; the debasement of public discourse; the Trump "assassination attempt"; counterfeit Satanism; the phenomena of cheap alarmism and "pornography of indignation". Whilst Augustine argues that we are saturated in mutually reinforcing layers of the liberal media spectacle, Mr Tucker analyses the Judaic meta-dialectics of the media spectacle.
