Besides all the great investigative reporting that he did, James Ridgeway co-founded one of my favorite New Left publications (Hard Times) and co-directed one of the funniest election documentaries I've ever seen (Feed). RIP. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/14/obituaries/james-ridgeway-dead.html …

He also co-directed a BLOOD IN THE FACE documentary, which is excellent. When I saw it in '91, it was picketed by some idiot Trots who claimed it was a Klan recruitment film because it didn't constantly stop to point out that these assholes were assholes.https://twitter.com/egavactip/status/1361084225529802762 …

Mark PitcavageVerified account @egavactipJames Ridgeway was a long-time journalist for the Village Voice who often wrote about extremism. In the 90s, I frequently recommended his book Blood in the Face as an intro to then-modern white supremacy. https://twitter.com/JIMRIDGEWAY/status/1361076497444986880 …1 reply 0 retweets 7 likesShow this thread

A precursor to some of the obtuse media criticism of our era!
