Episode Synopsis
Truth as the Enemy: From the Holodomor to Gaza
In this explosive episode, we expose how The New York Times — once a bastion of journalism — has repeatedly betrayed the truth in service of ideology. From Walter Duranty's cover-up of Stalin’s genocide in Ukraine, to the manipulation of a child’s image to falsely accuse Israel of war crimes, and the internal silencing of dissenting voices like Bari Weiss, we trace a chilling throughline: when the press becomes propaganda, civilization suffers.
We connect past and present, fact and narrative, truth and betrayal — and ask: what happens when the world’s most influential newspaper stops reporting and starts manipulating?
