YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

When news outlets shift their primary focus from public service to profit margins, the line between information and entertainment vanishes. By forcing journalism to adopt the same business model as scripted entertainment, the inevitable result is pure propaganda. This shift explains the pervasive gaslighting audiences experience daily, as the pressure to monetize overrides the duty to report facts. Stephanie Koff and Greg Olear break down the mechanics behind this dangerous transformation of the media landscape.
