This week's program is an overview of the biases and dangers of corporate media. Freelance journalist Chelli Stanley

explains why corporate media is not "mainstream." Then Nolan Higdon returns to the show to discuss the new

book he and Mickey have written, "United States of Distraction: Media Manipulation in Post-Truth America."
