You've described your show as "counter-propaganda". What propaganda are
you countering, and why do you feel compelled to counter it?

     Propaganda is information designed to convey a point of view, instead of just presenting facts. We can expect a fair amount of propaganda from the government…. our leaders are especially interested in presenting themselves and their efforts in the best possible light in order to do well in the next election.

     This administration has gone far below our expectations of elected leaders.  Everything they say and do supports their agenda first and only.  Most of this government’s propaganda, at its core, encourages support for more wealth for the wealthy. 

     The “legitimate” news media seems to be firmly in the administration’s pocket, even NPR to some extent. And, most importantly, it seems that most Americans, against their own interests, are absorbing this propaganda and are in turn disseminating the neocon line among their friends and family who vote.

     To counter this all-pervasive propaganda, the enlightened citizens of this country need to propagate reasonable and intelligent ideas as aggressively as the conservatives push their self-serving and avaricious view of America.

     Propaganda is self-serving information presented as truth, with the force and power of the government behind it.  Counter-propaganda is dissent with the force and power of passion behind it.
