"Curiously, the anti-vax journal has ties with a non-medical publication in a seemingly unrelated field. No fewer than four of its authors have also written articles for Propaganda in Focus, a website that claims to be “a forum for expert opinion and analysis about propaganda and its consequences.” One of the four — Daniel Broudy, professor of rhetoric and applied linguistics at Okinawa Christian University in Japan — is not only a member of the journal’s editorial board but also a co-editor of Propaganda in Focus.
Broudy co-edits Propaganda in Focus with Piers Robinson, formerly a professor in the journalism department at Sheffield University in Britain. Robinson is best known as the convenor of the Working Group on Syria, Propaganda and Media, a cohort of conspiracy theorists who became notorious for claiming that rebel groups were faking chemical attacks in Syria, despite abundant evidence that the Bashar al-Assad regime was responsible for them."
