Unfit to Print; or A History of Bad News: the Party Press, Penny Papers, and Yellow Journalism

from Historical Blindness · host Nathaniel Lloyd

While in the past I've discussed newspaper hoaxes as a historical forerunner of today's "fake news," in this episode I go deeper into the history of American journalism, looking at the party press era and yellow journalism to seek historical insight into journalistic bias and search for any example of the kind of propaganda we see in conservative news outlets today.
