Mark Crispin Miller, a New York University (NYU) professor, did something out of the ordinary in contemporary universities he asked his students to research a relevant topic, and he expected them to formulate their own conclusions. For this, and because the topic at hand was the efficacy of coronavirus masking, Miller is under fire at NYU, as one of his students has demanded his firing.
Miller teaches a class called “Mass Persuasion and Propaganda,” the purpose of which is to teach students to recognize the many ways in which persuasion and propaganda permeate today’s mainstream mass media. Miller is a well-respected expert in media bias and propaganda, but he has also been criticized by colleagues for dissenting from the mainstream media in the cases of the JFK assassination, 9/11, transgenderism, and vaccinations.
