653: Evil Layer Cake
Jen Psaki, James Foley, International Coalition Propaganda
State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki described the killing of journalist James Foley as a "horrific terrorist act" that motivated the creation of an international coalition. The hosts argue that the video of Foley's death was manipulated and used as a "motivating factor" for a half-billion-dollar military spending bill. They express frustration at how quickly the media and government adopted the narrative.
