Kevin Kosar on Federal News Radio: How do we draw a line between government information and propaganda?
Governance Project director Kevin Kosar discussed executive branch propaganda with Federal News Radio’s Tom Temin. Their conversation focused on the new R Street Institute report, Government Information and Propaganda: How to Draw a Line? , which was authored by Dr. Kosar and Louisiana State University professor John Maxwell Hamilton. Over the past year, the Department of Labor and the Environmental Protection Agency both have been caught running public relations campaigns for policies they want enacted. These are troubling misuses of taxpayers’ dollars, and such instances are likely to continue unless Congress and agencies enact reforms.
