New York University professor Mark Crispin Miller simply asked his students to do research on masking before they believed the narrative of the mainstream media. After all, he was teaching a class called “Mass Persuasion and Propaganda.” The very idea of the class is to foster recognition of the tools of persuasion and propaganda that are a daily part of the students’ society, culture, and news media. For this, one student reported Miller to the administration, demanding, on Twitter, that he be fired. This is not the first time Miller has been called before an NYU board, as you will hear on this episode of “The Midnight Writer News Show.” Miller joins S.T. Patrick to discuss the controversy, the efficacy of masking, the devolution of the left, the failures of the media, and much more.

Mark Crispin Miller operates a popular daily mailing list that can and should be followed at MarkCrispinMiller.com. You can sign the petition to “Support Academic Freedom” here. Miller is also the editor of the Forbidden Bookshelf series from Open Road Media. He is the author of Boxed In: The Culture of Television (1988), Seeing Through Movies (edited, 1990), The Bush Dyslexicon: Observations on a National Disorder (2001), Cruel and Unusual: Bush/Cheney’s New World Order (2004), and Fooled Again: How the Right Stole the 2004 Election and Why They’ll Steal the Next One Too (Unless We Stop Them) (2005).

    He’s into Qanon I would bet. That in itself is what turns me off to the Trump phenomenon. I try to see a balance and do research, but as Trump seems to dig his heels in, I dig my heels in when he is put up as a god and a savior, and have a difficult time being open minded. A fault of mine I will readily own! I lean left but agree with many of his points, that it has gone too far. He definitely describes my weakness the last 5 min of the show-McCain and Bush are seen as the good guys now because of Trumps abrasiveness and unfortunately I have fallen into that trap many times. All of that aside, I LOVE your show! Thank you – it’s quite a gift to me! Esp the Episodes with Nicholas Schreck

      Margaret, I do not think Mark is a QAnon guy at all. Mark is, like you, on the left but feels he doesn’t recognize the left anymore if the left is the “cancel culture” he sees in 2020. He is one of those guys who can see hypocrisy and fault (destructive patterns, rather) on both sides of the political aisle. People like that, like Donald Jeffries, like myself, we are having a hard time in 2020 as the two parties loudly and thoroughly demand you plant a flag in one camp and throw flames at the other. Those with even a modicum of independence are seen by one party as the tools of the other party (and thats the view on both sides, which make it even more ridiculous). I have all the respect in the world for what Mark does and is doing with his mind and his time and his abilities as an educator. Thank you for the compliments. Keep listening… and Nikolas will be back on in November or December after the newest edition of “The Manson File” is released. We’ve already discussed that happening and everything is a-go. — S.T.

    If this developed as portrayed here, the professor has my sympathies.

    Personally, I feel confident masks do contribute to controlling the virus, but I could be wrong. And that’s the important thing.

    Where is there danger in examining the evidence he cited? If it doesn’t hold up, then cite the contrary evidence to support that position.

    From wherever it comes this shouting down of people whose cogently-argued opinions (albeit they may be incorrect) differ from our own is execrable.

      Excellent episode. Well articulated and engaging….. dark days ahead, yet lucid narrative such as Mark’s gives me some hope. Thanks again. Colin. Australia

    Good episode and right on track. If free speech is now banned on campus then I have to conclude it must already be defacto banned just about everywhere else.

    The “left’s” tendency to see all Trump fans as “Qanon” supporters is based in their inability to actually be “open minded” and to think that they have been duped because they almost always see themselves as smarter than people on the “right”.
    The evidence suggests that the world did not start 6,000 years ago, however ironic that may be, that is what seems to limit the “lefts” world view..
    I used to be a communist and a union member. The real fascism that exists in those movements/ideals is what pushed me away. And after I “got educated” it took me a while to realize certain things like, the “native Americans” lived on this continent for eons before Europeans ever got here in a measurable and “confiscatory” level.
    My question was, to myself, then; Why were they (“American Natives”) so unprepared? It turns out it wasn’t exactly Kumbaya here. at that time or the eons before that. It was constant war and struggle. The exact reasons their/our ancestors left Africa. It is difficult to build a wall and form treaties when you’re leaders are constantly taking you to war.
    I only provide this example as a way to explain my rationale, not to “pick” on the aboriginal people but as a way to back up my statements above and try to point out that the communist and “leftist” argument is the antithesis of this. That antithesis is done purposely to disinform their acolytes in an attempt to build motivation off of ignorance. These are classic Alinsky copyright infringements on marx other controllers of the Bolshevik’s. The proponents of these “things” and many others may be dupers or the dupes.
    The “West” ended slavery. It continues in its worst form today possibly underground in the “West” but in the open in the “East”.

    Professor Miller willingly swims in the sewer and yet expresses amazement that it’s a foul environment.

    Suggestion to Prof Miller: Reetool your education and become a college (not a highschool) math teacher.

      For the record, he is a professor at NYU.
