ISIS Recruitment, Government Data Collection + Media Distortion with Michael Dowd
ISIS and Islamic extremists have been culled from wealthy backgrounds as well as disenfranchised populations, and we discuss the draw of terror for people from all backgrounds with Michael Dowd. We also explore the “Ferguson Effect” on law enforcement, police brutality, racial profiling, and how technology has changed perception of crime, cops, and excessive force, in addition to the question of data collection by the NSA for national security motives, in this Media Mayhem interview, hosted by Allison Hope Weiner.
