Those still imbibing too much kool aid are still addicted to it via listening to people like Rachel MadCow, et alia. Let me amend that: those of us with at least a rudimentary talent for critical thinking know b.s. Oddly, we know all these things instinctively when we hear/read some of the more ridiculous things, but we don't have words to describe or define why we know the falsehoods are just a bunch of b.s. If, however, you're talking about Lee Camp's article and how he lays out the formula listing how hit pieces are created, yes, I agree. I'm not sure what OP means in your context, and for once the Internet is not enlightening. I’d like to walk you through how to write such beautiful propaganda, as I did following the NY Times smear jobagainst me, which sounded shockingly similar (more on that later). A couple days after NPR’s Weekend Edition hosted by Scott Simon did a rather awesome attack piece on me and my TV show Redacted Tonight with Lee Camp which airs on RT America. Klose came straight from a nice seat as director of the US Information Agency, described as “a United States agency devoted to ‘public diplomacy’ (AKA propaganda).” So when you have one of the top government propagandists as your president, one can assume your reporting is slightly biased.Īnyway, that leads me to today.

You’re probably a middle to upper class white person or you hope to be one day, and that’s just great. Everything about NPR subtly reinforced the idea, “Everything is fine. Through my twenties I even looked to NPR as an outlet full of good, progressive, thoughtful reporting – You know, the soothing voices occasionally interrupted by music no one really listens to but that sounds good between soft-spoken ivy league journalists over the age of 50.
