The internet today is OVERWHELMED with news of all sorts! And as it turns out, there is an epidemic of false, sensationalized information going around us. While our most tended celebrities, social media influencers, or the ever-so-resourceful media circulate factual jargon, many of us put sensationalization into our brains without digging out the actual facts. Talk about intoxication!

In this episode, we talk about the need to research before believing in anything. However catchy the content seems, however top the news website ranks, it is necessary to find out what’s real. We also discuss why sensationalization is a means to deceive the audience or even divert our attention to something different.

We dig into:

● The effects of keeping a blind loyalty to influencers, the media, and celebrities.

● Real-life scenarios where sensationalization of news took honesty downhill. Example - Accusations of child abuse against the late singer-star Michael Jackson.

● Sensationalization indicates deception. It kills our ability to think wisely by showing us only what they want us to know.

● People who spread such news are often made to do this for remuneration or other personal benefits.

● Learn why there is a need to do detailed fact-checking and research before confirming any news.
