Bias in The Media | Ridin’ the Storm Out | September 12, 2024
"What does this mean for everyday citizens and their role in the democratic process? How can we, as informed individuals, better navigate the sea of disinformation?"
In this episode, Pastor Paul Blair and David Hanan, Ph.D.,
explore media bias and its implications for public opinion and democracy. They also examine the controversy surrounding voice assistants like Alexa and their
responses to questions about political candidates and voting. How does AI, like Alexa, potentially influence voters with its carefully curated answers?
We'll also explore the brief ban of X (formerly Twitter) in Brazil in 2024. The Brazilian government acted against X after failing to comply with regulations regarding spreading misinformation, particularly surrounding elections. We'll discuss how disinformation policies and moderation were insufficient to protect public safety, leading to legal restrictions and bans in certain countries.
In addition, we examine Mark Zuckerberg's confession
regarding the Biden-Harris White House's involvement in shaping disinformation tactics, raising concerns about the extent of government influence on social media platforms.
Join us as we navigate these turbulent waters, discussing
the intersection of media, technology, and politics, and how they shape the narratives we hear during election seasons.
Tune in for an eye-opening conversation that will leave you questioning the role of media bias in shaping the world's political landscape.
