549: Associative Propaganda

No Agenda Analysis, National Tragedy, Six-Week Cycle

The hosts discuss the reaction of Hollywood acquaintances to the No Agenda "six-week cycle" theory regarding national tragedies and media coverage. They note that public interest has shifted rapidly away from Syria and chemical weapons, pushing the Edward Snowden story further down the news cycle. They suggest that journalists like Glenn Greenwald are struggling to maintain public attention as the media moves on to new events.
