“Insane”, “crazy”, “totally fucking nuts”–Trump’s mental
capacity is the subject of much speculation, joke-making, and
earnest concern. But how should the subject be approached by the
media?
On this week’s show we explore the ethics of diagnosing mental
health from afar, the conflation of mental health issues with moral
turpitude, the negative effects of the media’s nonstop stigmatizing
of “insanity” and how to balance all of the above in the face of
the unique threat of Trump. With guests s.e. smith and Dr. Dean
Burnett.
