Why is social media the worst way to get breaking news (Ep. 22.5)
Why did it seem like everyone in the media thought Biden's debate performance concerned democrats? And how does telling a good story get in the way of the truth? In this episode, Dr. Sturg goes over the cozy relationship between politicians and the journalists who cover and explains the narrative bias.
It's a tendency to fit facts into a story, and this bias explains why early accounts of breaking news are often wrong.
