In this episode, longtime US foreign policy author and critic Ted Carpenter talks about his new book cataloging the editorial crimes of the American press corps, starting with Yellow Journalism and the Spanish American War, through Vietnam, the Iraq War, and Ukraine today. Media bias in favor of American primacy and exceptionalism has allowed Washington to not only get the public behind their political wars of choice but stay in them long after they've been lost. In the second segment, Kelley and Dan talk about Russia's apparent plans to annex four areas of Ukraine and what that will mean for the U.S.-NATO proxy war moving forward.
