- Episode 3: Propaganda, Media and War
We begin this episode with a discussion of Lara Logan's comments about media bias and how the media have essentially become propagandists. We then continue with a description of various war-time propaganda techniques, providing examples of the implementation of such techniques in recent wars (and in politics). Finally, the episode includes a discussion of the role of intellectuals in The Great War and the lasting consequences of WWI propaganda.

In this episode we explore the role that the media plays in spreading propaganda. Noam Chomsky's propaganda model is discussed together with various lines of evidence supporting the notion that the institutional structure of news media outlets makes them into inherent purveyors of propaganda.
