Since the US presidential election of 2016 the words propaganda and fake news have been prominent in American political and cultural discourse. Yet very few people can provide a coherent explanation of what they mean, precisely, when using them. On the two sides of the political spectrum (red and blue), each points out messages from the other side that they think are untrueor that they simply dont like. Unlike our dangerously biased political system, however, reality has more than only two sides. For decades, Americans sat by while their mediated world was carved into a single red reality focused in necessary opposition to a single blue reality. Weve been given red media outlets and blue media outlets to stoke our collective rage, each against the others lies. But the first two decades of the twenty-first century have presented us with a new information environment, one of unregulated and seemingly uncontrollable information. Like the young boy in a popular folktale, we can now seeif only we can resist the pressures of social conformitythat both emperors, red and blue, strut proudly before us, naked. Propaganda 2.1 is a handbook for seeing reality clearlyand coping with it.
