Christopher Coyne and Abigail Hall return to the podcast to discuss how military propaganda has targeted Americans since 9/11.

## Shownotes:

From the darkened cinema to the football field to the airport screening line, the U.S. government has purposefully inflated the actual threat of terrorism and the necessity of a proactive military response. This biased, incomplete, and misleading information contributes to a broader culture of fear and militarism that, far from keeping Americans safe, ultimately threatens the foundations of a free society.

How do you define propaganda?
