Clicks Over Truth: How Outrage Hijacked News
Manage episode 518765520 series 2930329
The media isn’t broken—it’s rigged. That’s the explosive claim from the latest Rant Network episode, where we tear into the likes of the CBC, BBC, CNN and other media outlets for turning news into propaganda, outrage, and clickbait. From edited interviews to biased coverage, we argue journalism has abandoned its duty to inform and now serves corporate and political agendas. If trust in the press is dead, what replaces it—TikTok videos, echo chambers, or raw citizen reporting?
