In this riveting episode of the Sheep Get Sheared Podcast, we tackle the crumbling trust in both mainstream and alternative media, a timely discussion following the recent Biden-Trump debate. The concept of "fake news" has transcended buzzword status to become a staple of American discourse, pointing to a deep-seated skepticism that pervades our consumption of news today.
As we dissect the aftermath of the debate, it's clear that media bias is not just an accusation thrown by one side; it's a reality acknowledged by viewers across the political spectrum. Major news networks, once bastions of objectivity, are now seen as flag-bearers for partisan views, undermining their credibility and fueling a turn towards alternative sources. However, even these newer platforms are not immune to skepticism; their rise has been marked by a similar partisan slant, complicating the quest for unbiased information.
This episode delves into the significant role that social media influencers now play in shaping public opinion. As traditional media's influence wanes, these new voices are gaining ground, but not without controversies of their own. With the division between right and left deepening, the media landscape appears fractured, possibly beyond repair.
Join us as we explore these complex dynamics, questioning whether trust in any form of media can be restored in such a polarized environment. As we navigate this era of information overload and skepticism, understanding these shifts is more crucial than ever for anyone striving to remain informed without being misled.

Unfortunately, independence is something that the current society does not tolerate, or very little. The current mainstream is so worried about its position that it labels any objective criticism as an act of hostility and belonging to some other group of opinions. They can't imagine that what is not a friend may not be an enemy. It reminds me of the past regime (socialism) in our former Eastern Bloc in Europe. When any criticism was also considered as hostility. This is a socially and humanly very dangerous development and can lead to totalitarianism.
