06. Trump's Sexual Assault Allegations: The Resurgence of the Yellow Press

An analysis of the coarsening of journalistic culture and the resurgence of the yellow press, which was quite pronounced of late in the recent Donald Trump "sexual assault" allegations. I delve into the cases, particularly with regard to the lack of journalistic integrity in vetting the sources and in presenting the information in a consistent and skeptical way. Be prepared to question what is being presented in the most concerted smear campaign of any election in the past century (going well beyond what was done to Barry Goldwater in '64). The Yellow Press is back, my friends. We must always guard ourselves against its constant attack upon objectivity, fairness, and skepticism, no matter who it arrays itself against and no matter the cause that it espouses. Disinformation is the enemy of liberty, culture, and anarchy. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/culture-anarchy/support
