Ep. 208 (Preview): Inventing Reality: The Politics of New Media

Mike and Q discuss Inventing Reality: The Politics of New Media, by Michael Parenti. The book pulls no punches in explaining exactly how the people who own the news media creates what is (and isn't) news. What is news invariably serves elites, their investments, and right-wing corporate interests. What gets twisted or isn't shown at all is usually the information necessary for the people to collectivize and organize in our own interests. This is the story of how social and political justice is undermined in "The Free World." It also explains a lot of why and how Asians in diaspora are trained to hate their home countries.
