Episode 3: The Smith Mundt Act, Propaganda and Real Solutions
In this episode, we tackle one of the most misunderstood laws in today’s political debates: the Smith–Mundt Act. Originally designed to regulate U.S. government information abroad, it was modernized in 2012 — but has since been misrepresented as a way to rein in mainstream media at home.
We break down what the law actually says, why it matters, and how propaganda concerns should be addressed in ways that protect the First Amendment. From media literacy education to transparency requirements and antitrust enforcement, we explore constitutional paths citizens and lawmakers can take to push back against propaganda without government overreach.
