## Resource

The War on Terror shaped modern U.S. foreign policy, but how much of what the public was told actually holds up? In this episode of At The Mic: Thursday Deep Dive with Keith Malinak, guest Scott Horton joins the conversation to break down the narrative surrounding the War on Terror, what was presented to the public, and where key details begin to unravel. Together, they examine how media coverage, government messaging, and historical context influenced public perception, and why these narratives still matter today. This deep dive explores the gap between what was said, what was believed, and what deserves a closer look.
