Part 2/9:
In today’s fast-evolving information landscape, many of us rely heavily on podcasts, social media, and traditional news channels for our daily doses of information. However, the quality and reliability of that information are often called into question. Recently, during a long flight from Miami to Las Vegas, an air traveler found himself inflamed by the news channel CNN, which dominated the entertainment of the passenger next to him. Though he couldn't hear the broadcast, the repeated "Trump" headlines and the constant stream of alarming notifications caught his eye. This observation served as a catalyst for his critique on the state of media today, reflecting on not only the content but the massive financial incentives that underlie the operations of news organizations.
