Computer-generated headlines are making journalists, fact-checking, and objective truth obsolete. Noa visits AutoNews, which publishes millions of headlines daily directly onto social media with its powerful algorithm. But AutoNews isn’t just crowding out mainstream competitors and inciting partisan rage. It’s given birth to a movement of citizen investigators who plan to get to the bottom of a massive conspiracy involving Trump, Satan, pedophiles, and a hungry lizard. Will Noa and CEO Jared Marks (Nick Corirossi) change the media forever? Or will Jared be lost in a complicated plot of his company's own making?
