The Legacy of 9/11
Summary
Dave Smith and Robbie Bernstein discuss the 25th anniversary of 9/11, critiquing recent media efforts to rehabilitate the "War on Terror." They analyze viral clips from Bill Maher and Jeremy Borum, arguing that these figures ignore the catastrophic consequences of US foreign policy and misrepresent historical facts regarding Gaza. The hosts contend that such narratives serve as propaganda to justify ongoing conflicts, including the current war in Iran, while erasing the massive human costs of the past two decades.
