Fake News Empire: Unlearning the Lies at the Heart of American ideology.
This Is Hell, Danny Haiphong, BAR contributor
22 May 2019
🖨️ Print Article

Black Agenda Report's Danny Haiphong examines the lies at the root of the story America tells itself - as the corporate media obscures the reality of social relations at the base of American power, our collective notions of exceptionalism and innocence mask the exploitation that occurs around us everyday, and the exploiting class at the top of American society.
Danny is author of the book American Exceptionalism and American Innocence: A People's History of Fake News—From the Revolutionary War to the War on Terror from Skyhorse Books.
