How Michael Parenti EXPOSED Chomsky As A Fraud! w/ Christian Parenti

The Jimmy Dore Show

Feb 11, 2026 #TheJimmyDoreShow

Jimmy speaks with Christian Parenti, associate professor of economics at John Jay College, City University of New York, about how progressive public intellectuals often moderate their views to maintain access, prestige, and approval from elite institutions, even while presenting themselves as dissidents. He explains that his father, Michael Parenti, refused to cross those ideological “third rails,” particularly by defending actually existing socialist states and seriously engaging evidence around the JFK assassination, which led to blacklisting and red-baiting in academia. By contrast, he says, figures like Noam Chomsky have been criticized for dismissing these inquiries, prioritizing credibility with mainstream gatekeepers, and maintaining institutional protection at places like MIT. The conversation frames this divide as a choice between career security and genuine critical inquiry, with Parenti’s legacy representing intellectual independence at significant personal cost.

Jimmy Dore (born July 26, 1965) is an American stand-up comedian, anti-imperialist political commentator, true democracy advocate, podcaster and YouTube personality. He is the host of The Jimmy Dore Show, a comedic political talk show on YouTube. Jimmy started as a comedian in Illinois in 1989 and made several appearances on late night talk shows early in his comedy career. From 2005 onward, his performances increasingly included political commentary. He was affiliated with The Young Turks from 2009 to 2019 and appeared on a Young Turks Network show titled Aggressive Progressives. From 2010 to 2021 The Jimmy Dore Show was broadcast on public radio station KPFK 90.7 FM in Los Angeles, California. From 2021 onward, The Jimmy Dore Show became entirely independent and streams live, as well as posts, via YouTube regularly. Dore has gained a reputation for correcting the record on huge establishment lies, such as the assertion that the Syrian government was responsible for chemical weapons attacks on Syrian civilians in Khan Shaykhun and elsewhere. His first book, Your Country Is Just Not That Into You, was published in 2014. Dore is married to fellow anti-imperialist Stefanie Zamorano.

THE PRINCE OF DORKNESS

THE GREANVILLE POST (TGP) is an antidote to and refuge from the ubiquitous brainwash long afflicting most people in the United States and the rest of the collective West. TGP is an independent, (barely) reader-supported, non-dogmatic publication dedicated to seeking the truth wherever it may be found. Thus, we publish voices from any point in the political spectrum, left, right, up, down, except shitlibs, professional disinformers, media whores, and demagogues of the extreme right. TGP is already heavily shadowbanned; it could be gone tomorrow. That’s the lousy, uber-hypocritical times we inhabit, so read it while you can, and do pass its carefully selected articles to others: friends, kin and workmates. Incidentally, if you can send a donation, do so. For obvious reasons, we do not operate behind a paywall. Defeating the Big Lie is too important and urgent to subject the truth to the test of wallet power.
