COVERING US FOREIGN POLICY, ECONOMIC REALITIES, AND CI
Journalist Peter Oborne joins Chris Hedges to discuss how the bifurcation of the world into "worthy" and "unworthy" victims obliterates nuance and ambiguity and is a key component of propaganda, especially in war.
Peter Oborne is a former political commentator of The Spectator, The Daily Telegraph, and Daily Mail, who covered the war in Yemen. He currently writes about politics for openDemocracy and Middle East Eye, and is the author of "The Triumph of the Political Class," and "The Rise of Political Lying."
The Chris Hedges Report broadcasts about U.S. foreign policy, economic realities, books, and civil liberties in American society. Chris Hedges is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, best-selling author, and activist. He interviews writers, intellectuals and dissidents, any banished from mainstream, in his half-hour show. He gives voice to those from Cornel West to Noam Chomsky to the leaders of groups such as Extinction Rebellion, who are on the front lines of the struggle against militarism, corporate capitalism, white supremacy, the looming ecocide, as well as the battle to wrest back our democracy from the clutches of the ruling global oligarchy.
