At what point does a media institution become completely complicit in a multibillion-dollar crime? In this video, The Scoop host Paula Froelich and branding expert Aliza Licht look at how the media's obsession with hype over fact-checking actively protected fraudsters. They look back at Sam Bankman-Fried making the Forbes 30 Under 30 list while actively running a financial scam, and how Elizabeth Holmes used the credibility of billionaires to build an empire on a dream that didn't work. It's time to talk about how the PR machine replaces critical thinking.
