Episode 37: Danny Haiphong Interrogates American Exceptionalism and American Innocence

In this episode we interview Danny Haiphong, who along with Roberto Servant recently co-authored the book American Exceptionalism and American Innocence: A People's History of Fake News-from the Revolutionary War to the War on Terror on Skyhorse Publishing. We discuss many aspects of how American Exceptionalism and American Innocence are weaponized domestically and internationally in the the name of spreading US Imperialism. In addition to co-authoring this book, Danny Haiphong is an activist, journalist, and scholar. For the last five years, Haiphong has been a weekly contributor to Black Agenda Report. His articles have also appeared in several publications such as The American Herald Tribune, MintPressNews, and CounterPunch. His work was featured in former Congresswoman and Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney's latest book How the U.S. Creates "Sh*thole Countries (2018).
