This week we are having a peek into Jack's wheelhouse - the coverage of cookers and SovCits in the mainstream media.
Cookers hate the MSM - until it agrees with them. Then they LOVE it! Even if it's just a decontextualised headline, they'll share it like crazy.
But do MSM outlets pander to antivaxxers, conspiracy theorists and SovCits? Kinda.
For the most part their vaccine reporting is straight down the line. Conspiracy theorists are ignored. SovCits laughed at. But every now and then, a little nod goes to antivaxxers that gives them a real boost of morale - one shared wildly across places like telegram.
We have a look at how the reporting is happening but also talk to Jack about how the sausage is made. He knows, because unlike Avi Yemini, he's a journalist.
Enjoy!
P.S. This episode mentions suicide - if this brings up any dark feelings please call lifeline on 13 11 14 and have a chat with them - they're good people.
