15 Minutes In Hell - Episode 3 - Taylor Lorenz, The Washington Post
The state of the news media today really puts paid to the notion that unregulated free markets produce more innovation and better outcomes. As the media has become increasingly unregulated, competitive, and profit-oriented over the past few decades, it has not resulted in a better informed public or more oversight of government but an endless sludge of clickbait, sensationalism, ideological propaganda, and lazy journalism. No one could possibly argue with a straight face that individuals and society overall are better off today than they were 40 year ago when news provision was primarily seen as a public service.
Hi, a friend recommended this podcast, and I'm very interested in it. I'm also hard of hearing, so I'm wondering where I can find a transcript, please?
