Dan and Jimmy talk about a number of items for the 4th quarter episode of Behind the Media. Former Cosby Show actor Geoffrey Owens recently was job-shamed from working at Trader Joe’s, and Nikki Minaj decided to help him out by donating $25,000 to the fund that supports actors who are down and out. Speaking of the Cosby Show, their “star” Bill Cosby? He’s in jail now for 3-10 years.  Will prison time really help reform, or just keep him out of sight in order to keep him out of mind? Plus, an artist pulls out of an exhibition of her work since those organizers were concerned about the political slant to her art. No worries she found a safe haven somewhere else in Massachusetts. Plus is there more Brain-hacking we need to be aware of, and from where?

We all know that when we go about our lives in public, there is a camera somewhere that is documenting what we are doing. It’s the realities of life in 2018 with a 1984 Big Brother caveat. In one case of a video that was used for shock by the Cameroonian government, BBC investigators were able to use modern technology and satellite imaging to track down militia members involved in killings in Cameroon. Those denials by the nation of Cameroon look pretty fake now! Dan and Jimmy celebrate good modern journalism when it exposes Fake News!

Does WhatsApp have a dark purpose? What is this dark social web that is out there and it being misused?  Dan and Jimmy question the uses of WhatsApp in today’s world of Fake News and AI bots, with the possibility of dark social activity. For 200 million users across the world, 22 different languages, and no way to report inappropriate activity; you just got to ask, what’s up with that app?

Does being on camera freak you out? Or do you thrive on it like POTUS? Some question if Donald Trump knows that if he’s in front of a camera, that he is as our President not the star of a reality TV show!  Perhaps that’s why he keeps firing his staff?, Dan and Jimmy take a look at POTUS’s recent actions on camera, and wonder the same thing.
