Podcasts about biased news

Credible journalism is crucial for democracy, and trust in our news media is alarmingly low. The CEO of U.S. News & World Report, Eric Gertler, explains why and talks bluntly about the dramatic rise of opinionated and fake news, the impact of a generation getting its news from social media, transitioning from analog dollars to digital dimes, and more.

The fine line between news and propaganda is blurring, with biased sources and echo chambers dominating the American political landscape. This episode takes you on a journey through this maze, shedding light on the right's repackaging of pro-life messaging and the alarming possibility of democracy's end game. Get ready for a deep dive into how to determine valid news and spot hidden biases, while understanding the impact of tying news to a personality rather than the truth itself.The ripple effects of American politics are felt globally, and the world is watching. We unpack the global perceptions, from mistrust to outright paranoia, fueled by President Trump's handling of sensitive nuclear secrets and military strategies. Brace yourself as we question the corporate takeover of media, its stifling of independent voices, and the dangerous potential of fear-based messaging that can strip away the rights of minorities and disadvantaged communities. Are you ready for a reality check? The cult of personality around President Trump has deep-rooted effects, creating echo chambers that breed mistrust and fear. We explore the anti-woke movement and the rise of celebrity politics, and how these factors are impacting the political discourse. We end this episode on a solemn note as we discuss the effects of pervasive news consumption, and how we can reclaim balance by reducing our screen time and connecting more with the world around us. Lastly, we delve into the hypocrisy behind politicians' promises and the importance of staying informed, making this episode a must-listen for those invested in the future of democracy.

We're back from taking a summer break! This week Master Zi and Vindesh discuss why sifting through the news cycle is a necessary but tedious task to get the whole story.  Since we've been gone, we have lost hundreds of migrants along the Greek coast as well as 5 billionaires on a recreational journey to see the Titanic.  Which story do you think garnered more attention? Exactly.  This week we discuss why sourcing our news sources is just as important as sourcing the food we eat, because most often we are being misled by wording or marketing. 

Social media behaviors, moving at an ever faster pace, may not reflect what users really want, according to new research from economists Sendhil Mullainathan (Chicago Booth) and Amanda Agan (Rutgers University). They join The Pie to discuss how algorithms feed off our lizard brains to magnify biases.

More Talk On Biased News  Kemp called for up to 1,000 members of the Georgia National Guard and made “all resources” available to respond to the protests in which six people were arrested on Saturday. The identities of several perpetrators in connection with Saturday's anti-police riots in Atlanta have been revealed, and many are reportedly wealthy activists who came to Atlanta from other states. Suspects Francis Carroll, 22 and Emily Murphy, 37, of Maine, Ivan Ferguson, 23, of Nevada, Nadja Geier, 24, of Tennessee, and Madeleine Feola of Washington State made up a list of rioters from outside The Peach State. Former Democratic Congressional candidate Phil Arballo is rearing his head yet again in another Central Valley Congressional race. This time, however, he is not entering the race as a candidate, instead opting to work as a consultant in a virtually un-winnable race. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Politics & Philosophy

Publishing this episode in retrospect, we would like to apologise for the flippant way in which we discuss the virus. This was recorded before we became aware of the seriousness of the situation in the UK, which is why we would like to reiterate that we hope our ignorance does not offend anyone. Aside from that, we are joined in this episode by Kian and Davod, as we discuss whether you can ever truly have biased news, and express our anger at a certain controversial TV show for its irresponsible depiction of suicide.

We got some rabbit holing here. Some good talking around biased reporting and assuming guilt by celebrities(but only if it fits their agenda). We talk about a bill in AZ to require you pay $250 to provide them a DNA sample.

Is it better to allow an algorithm to optimize the most relevant and authoritative news? In this episode of thinkPod, we are joined by Sara Fischer, a DC-based media reporter at Axios. We talk about the evolution of news distribution, trends to look out for in 2019, and how the problem of deep fakes and intentionally manipulated news will require leaning on AI and machine learning.

Politics & Philosophy

Listen to the ACprimetime podcast. Back on OCT. 16, 2017, there was a debate between NJ State Senator Colin Bell and Assemblyman Chris Brown. It was held on WOND Radio, a small AM station in the Atlantic City area. Coincidentally… a struggling radio station that’s up for sale. Both candidates want your vote to be a NJ State Senator for the next 4 years. BrownFactCheck.com Here are some clips from the recent radio debate between Senator Bell & Assemblyman Brown. Fair warning: I'm not playing and commenting on these clips to sway your vote. Rather…. I hope you’ll see that FAKE NEWS and BIASED NEWS is a real problem. Not just at the national level…… but especially here at the local level. Biased media is a real problem, especially when the local news radio station….is partnered with the local newspaper. The Atlantic City news radio station is up for sale. The local newspaper is bleeding readers and advertisers. Kinda creepy…..a little too comfortable relationship between the moderator…and Assemblyman Brown. Moderator Scott Cronick….calls Chris Brown 'Buddy'…..laughs along with Mr. Brown. Yes, this is the same radio station moderator that took sponsorship money from Mayor Don Guardian, the incumbent candidate in a critical Atlantic City mayoral debate a few weeks ago at Dante Hall. As the 2016 presidential election proved…..mainstream media plays a major role in what info is shared with voters….what people should know, what they should think….and potentially how they should vote. Even with the non-stop trump bashing by national TV & Newspaper…..we know what happened as we selected our 45th president of the USA The rise of fake news, Independent minded voters of South Jersey. The land of Nucky Johnson. Nucky Johnson (1883–1968) was an Atlantic City, republican political boss, Atlantic County Sheriff, businessman, and racketeer. He was the undisputed "boss" of the political machine that controlled Atlantic City and the Atlantic County government from the 1910s until his conviction and imprisonment in 1941. Many believe Nucky invented the well-oiled GOP political machine here in South Jersey. 'Republi-crats' …..Those that vote one way at the national level…but cast their vote another way…..at the local level. Fake news. Control the narrative. Biased media & moderators. Collusion. Not just with those pesky Russians, but between the failing mainstream media too. Rhinos…..Republicans in name only. Senator Colin Bell Vs Assemblyman Chris Brown.

Our hosts tackle the scourge of Fake News, the polarizing forces of Biased News, and the ever-elusive Real News. Today's Beer: Fresh Squeezed by Deschutes Brewery Like, Subscribe, Share, and Leave a comment.
