204. Occupation and Forever Wars: Is US Media Propaganda Finally in Collapse? w/ Assal Rad
Summary
Host Greg Stoker and guest Asal Roud discuss how mainstream media manufactures consent for the Gaza genocide through sanitized headlines and Orientalist narratives. They analyze the Ed Sheeran and Macklemore controversy to illustrate billionaire influence on speech and the erosion of free press. The conversation draws parallels between media bias, military intelligence echo chambers, and Hollywood propaganda, arguing that these systems dehumanize Palestinians to justify imperial expansion.
