#088 - Propaganda Madness 2: “The Daily” Deception

This week we are trying a new format of straight media criticism. As the criminal, insane war in Iran continues ramping up with no signs of slowing down, we figured some of you–like us–might be wondering how on earth anyone in their right mind can just go about their daily life without passing a thought to the global conflagration spreading across the Middle East. Well, listener, you’re in luck, because we’ve identified at least one place where the professional class and the rest of the American mainstream may be getting brainwashed into passive but moderately concerned acquiescence. Namely, the New York Times, and its hit podcast, “The Daily.”

Don digs into “The Daily” episode on the so-described “errors” that led to the United States murdering over 175 innocent civilians–mostly young girls–in the bombing of an elementary school. The propaganda is even more obscene than you might imagine, as it takes the developing set of facts on the ground and molds them to fit the pre-fabricated narrative frameworks that have been deployed in defense of the American Empire. We spare no critique of The Daily and its contributors, calling out their lies, mischaracterizations, and omissions, once again in the footsteps of the likes of Guy Debord who so effectively taught us how to deconstruct the Spectacle.

You won’t want to miss it.

Outro Song: Brian Jonestown Massacre, “We Never Had A Chance”
