Episode 1

Founding Father of Fake News

Thu, Aug 24, 2017

In 1932, Walter Duranty received a Pulitzer Prize for a series of reports about Stalin and the Soviet Union, most published in 1931. He was criticized then by British journalists Malcolm Muggeridge and Gareth Jones, and later, in books by Robert Conquest and S.J. Taylor, for his denial of widespread famine in the USSR - most particularly the Holodomor, a mass starvation and genocide in Ukraine. We delve into Duranty's coverage of the famine and his false reporting to the New York Times. We also examine the integrity of today's media journalists in a one-on-one interview with James Agresti, president of JustFacts.com, a resource for independent thinkers.

Honor Killings: The Real War on Women

Tue, Oct 3, 2017

An honor killing is the homicide of a relative, due to the perpetrators' belief that the victim has brought shame or dishonor upon the family, or has violated the principles of a community or a religion. Experts say today it is mostly seen in Islamic cultures, and now it's happening in the United States to young women who dare to pursue the American dream. We tackle the question: Can this heinous act be protected by religious beliefs or is it simply murder?

The Hoax Crime Epidemic

Wed, Nov 1, 2017

Our media-centric society craves attention. This has manifested through a series of voyeuristic reality television shows, YouTube fame and Facebook. Those desperate for their fifteen minutes will do anything to get it. We talk candidly about a rash of widely reported "anti-Muslim hate crimes" that have turned out to be hoaxes perpetrated by Muslims. Hate crimes are political capital in our petulant, victim-idolizing society and when real incidents don't exist, there is incentive to invent them.
