10/01/21 Gareth Porter on the Media’s Misleading Portrayal of the Taliban
Gareth Porter joined Scott on Antiwar Radio to discuss his recent piece at the Gray Zone about the dishonest ways the media has covered the Taliban. Both Scott and Porter agree that the Taliban are not to be considered the good guys, but that the media has a history of pushing a misleading narrative about them to justify war. Scott and Porter reflect on how this has been happening, to some extent, for the Taliban’s entire history, but especially as it relates to the group’s connections with Islamic terrorists.
Discussed on the show:
- “Corporate media stirred global terror hysteria to push postwar hostility toward new Afghan govt” (The Gray Zone)
- Peril by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa
- No Good Men Among the Living by Anand Gopal
- Charlie Wilson’s War by George Crile
Gareth Porter is an investigative historian and journalist on the national security state. He is the author of Manufactured Crisis: The Untold Story of the Iran Nuclear Scare and, with John Kiriakou, The CIA Insider’s Guide to the Iran Crisis.
