About this listen

There’s a lot of finger pointing about which media outlet is to blame for the rise in political polarization, racism, and the class war. The brash boldness of Fox News is a likely target, but what about the hushed tones of liberal news?

In this episode, researcher Reece Peck reveals what makes some media, like YouTube, a compelling place for news; how we can’t sidestep the culture war with facts; and why we can’t educate disinformation away.
