9:30Now PlayingWhy is propaganda particularly effective on liberals? Alec Karakatsanis, author of “Copaganda,” explains how selectively true anecdotes presented for false, misleading purposes work better than outright lies. Katie and Alex discuss how propaganda functions, from local TV news reports about “rising crime” to milquetoast NYT coverage about Israel’s genocide.
Alec Karakatsanis is a Civil Rights lawyer and the founder of Civil RIghts Corps. He is the author of Usual Cruelty: The Complicity of Lawyers in the Criminal Injustice System (2019) and Copaganda: How Police and the Media Manipulate Our News (2025)
