RATING
Some of the best, clearest analysis of media I've found. It uncovers the flaws of several media outlets and teaches you to be skeptical even of yourself. Nobody is immune to rational mistakes, not even you!
Super important podcast. Really helped me wake up to the ways the media skews different stories and the larger narratives they fit in. I really think more people need to question the way media frames stories to us and I think this podcast definitely helps with that
Boy has this show gone downhill. They've lost their journalistic integrity and it makes me question whether I was foolish for believing the stories they've presented over the years that I've been listening.
I love Bob and Brooke so so much. I rely on them for more information about...all the things I worry about.
still outstanding
Keeping the media in check
Great and thought-provoking listen. Consistantly quality. Definitely leans to the left.
The description says it is about how "the media sausage is made." It is not. It takes an article or two from recent media and gives a left of center political opinion filled in with some history of the topic from a supposed expert. If you want fictional entertainment based on current events, go for it. This isn't what is described though, and it isn't factual.
An excellent example of the "liberal media elite" talking to themselves about themselves. The CJR podcast is not great, but leaves this for dead.
Was once great now it's just predictable. OTM used to be about challenging media narratives now it just feeds into them. More than ever it has leaned into an entrenched point of view, one at times I might be aligned with but I can tell it has forgone delving into anything that might challenge it. Exploring the complexity and nuance of any story is sacrificed for fear I suspect of even the slightest social media backlash. It used to want to challenge confirmation bias now it just feeds into it. I give it 3 stars because earlier work was good; I appreciated it then but it has gone downhill the last few years.
One of the few remaining lighthouses for Democracy itself.
