Episode 2: The History of Propaganda

In this episode we explore the history of propaganda. We focus on how the British and American governments (and media outlets) peddled propaganda during WWI. Also discussed are examples of how similar techniques were used by the "good countries" in more recent conflicts, such as the war in Iraq and the conflict in Syria.
