Nicholas Schou – Episode 52
from CounterPunch Radio
This week Eric sits down with author Nicholas Schou to discuss his new book <a href=”https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1510703365/counterpunchmaga”>Spooked: How the CIA Manipulates the Media and Hoodwinks Hollywood</a>. Eric and Nick explore the history of CIA manipulation of the media going back decades, and how it has evolved into the propaganda consensus we see today. The conversation touches on everything from Nicaragua and the Reagan counter-revolution to the sycophantic relationship between Hollywood and Langley. From Robert Parry to Robert Kagan, from South Vietnam to Baghdad, the story of CIA information warfare is a long and sordid one, and Schou’s new book is an important contribution in telling it.
