How South Park is saving free speech in America
Episode description
The new season of South Park is causing a stir with its sharp attacks on the Trump administration. Long seen as a bastion of free speech, the cartoon has built its reputation on skewering everyone, but is its trademark cynicism shifting towards a more targeted political stance? Today on The Bunker, Jacob Jarvis speaks with media critic Ciara Moloney to unpack the politics behind the long-running cartoon and examine its new role as a protector of free speech in a fraught media landscape.
