US History and “News” is Fiction
Black Agenda Radio with Nellie Bailey and Glen Ford
17 Jun 2019
🖨️ Print Article

“The idea that the US is a force for good in the world is used to justify the crimes of US capitalism and has its roots in white supremacy,” said Danny Haiphong, co-author along with Roberto Sirvent of the new book, “American Exceptionalism and American Innocence: A People’s History of Fake News – From the Revolutionary War to the War on Terror.” Haiphong writes a weekly column for Black Agenda Report and Sirvent is editor of the BAR Book Forum.
