Americans find themselves in a unique moment in history. The United States is the sole superpower and is using that status to wage direct and proxy wars around the globe to protect and advance corporate interests. At home, the U.S. economy continues to be shaken by the latest corporate scandal and conditions for most working families continue to decline. Despite all this, most Americans remain strangely complacent about the world around them.
Join David in an informative and entertaining evening examining the ways in which the American media, including so called public broadcasting" shapes public opinion and promotes corporate interests. David will be exploring the media's role in U.S. involvement in Afghanistan, the Middle East, and elsewhere. David is kicking off his national United States of Amnesia Tour in Oregon to encourage this important discussion and to highlight his latest book, "The Decline and Fall of Public Broadcasting.
