Bitter Lake Presents Soundwaves Ep 44: The Myth of Meritocracy in the Age of COVID-19 w/ Daniel Haiphong

  On this episode of the podcast, I get to speak with journalist and author Danny Haiphong.  Co-Author of, "American Exceptionalism and American Innocence: A People's History of Fake News From the Revolutionary War to the War of Terror".  The title may be a mouthful, but Haiphong and Roberto Sirvent take on the lies of American Imperialism, racism and neoliberalism.  We discussed Colin Kapernick, Lebron James, Michael Jordan and the birth of the corporate athlete.  We also talk problematic nature of Captain America and SO. MUCH. MORE.
