K-Ville: Pro-Fascist Propaganda?

Propaganda may be tolerable enough when we know its goals up front and can recognize propaganda for what it is. We still have our powers of reason and refusal then. It’s another matter when we don’t even know we’re being manipulated and haven’t been told the agenda.

This is the context for K-ville, a new Fox series about post-Katrina New Orleans that premiers on Monday, September 17. Read Jordan Flaherty’s excellent heads-up on this subject at Dissident Voices.
