The hypocrisy of world leaders has gone unquestioned as they rally in defence of ‘freedom’ while curtailing civil liberties fuelling racism against Muslims and omitting any discussion of the real context of the Paris attacks: the catastrophic "War on Terror".
Des Freedman (Goldsmiths University) introduces a discussion on the role of media power and its relationship to democracy and freedom of expression.
