The Mindfullness Show is written and produced by Josiah Samuel Harry. Music by Josiah Harry, Jr.
S2E23 Show Notes:In this episode, Josiah discusses why Facebook's decision to partner with CNN, Fox News, and other media companies to produce news-worthy content and original shows is, in essence, nothing more than posturing and positioning by Facebook to gain new market share.
How does partnering with media conglomerates that report on fake news and disseminate misleading and propaganda-driven headlines and stories address the problem of fake news?
Facebook's attempt to rebrand and revive its fledgling video on demand service, Watch, is just another avenue for Facebook to mine and collect the metadata of its users in order to share and sell the collected information to foreign companies and governments.
