"Episode #11 - Patriotism as Militarism (Nuclear Pollution in US and WW2 reconsidered)" "This week we start by hearing about how the US government was uninterested in the deaths and injuries caused in the US by its nuclear bomb tests during WW2. We continue our lecture series with Michael Parenti. His lecture on "Superpatriotism" describes how the idea of 'patriotism' is used to manipulate people into becoming willing cannon fodder for the war machine, and who benefits from this."
"Episode #12 - Corporate Bias and Censorship in the News Media (Michael Parenti, Toxic Dreams and RBGH)" "In the first hour, we continue Michael Parenti's lecture series with "The Hidden Ideology of the News Media". In the second hour, we look at two cases where business interests and profit motive have resulted in the suppression of news stories about health risks to the community. Cara Ben-Yaakov, talks about how the Ithaca Times censored her story "Toxic Dreams" which revealed that Ithaca officials are planning to build a shopping center on the site of a toxic waste dump that already threatens the health of residents of a mobile home park, as well as the health of Cayuga Lake itself. Then, an interview with Steve Wilson and Jane Akre, two reporters who are suing Fox TV after they were fired several years ago for refusing to report false information about the health risks of Monsanto's genetically engineered bovine growth hormone."
