1089 The Corruption of American Journalism

EPISODE #1089 THE CORRUPTION OF AMERICAN JOURNALISM Richard speaks with a Pulitzer-Prize winning investigative journalist about the ways in which journalism has, since the Cold War, been compromised by influences unseen and unheard by the public in deciding what people read, hear and subsequently believe. This cultural cold war, led by a CIA and State Department-tied political strategy, involved major news outlets, magazine and book publishers, and worked through a network of unsigned intelligence ‘ agents’ – and influential institutions, foundations and government agencies -- to propagandize the American public, challenge socialism and communism, and preserve an elite “ Establishment.” GUEST: Dan Luzadder began his writing career as a teenage reporter working the night cops beat on a gritty blue-collar newspaper. Columns and investigative stories exposed crimes and public corruption and were honored with a Pulitzer Prize, an American Bar Association award for public service and membership in the Scripps Howard Journalism Hall of Fame. He resides in Cannon Beach, Oregon with his wife and their dog, Al Capone.
