Does the media tell you the truth? Can you tell when the media is manipulating you and have journalists stopped asking the difficult questions? Today on the Spiritual Spiral, I welcome Los Angeles tech & media lawyer, Matt Bilinsky, to the show. While Matt is a successful attorney in LA, I discovered Matt on Twitter and IG where he has grown a following breaking down news stories and bringing his nuanced perspective to the world. Matt is using social media to go beneath the surface to try and offer a fresh perspective that counters the narrative that is being pushed by the media. Matt and I talk about the media landscape and how social media and the 24/7 news cycle may impact the way we receive the news. We discuss the pandemic, the impact it's having on our culture and how we're living in a world where if you question the narrative, then the powers-to-be want you silenced. I also ask Matt about this idea of being an "influencer" and we talk about the good and bad of social media and why I think it's causing more disruption than ever before.
