Mickey Huff and Nolan Higdon on media manipulation in the US (11/26/19) - a podcast by Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI Radio in New York

It's no secret that the goal of corporate-owned media is to increase the profits of the few, not to empower the many. As a result, people are increasingly immersed in an information system structured to reinforce their social biases and market to their buying preferences. In their book “United States of Distraction: Media Manipulation in Post-Truth America (And What We Can Do About It)” Mickey Huff and Nolan Higdon offer a clear, concise appraisal of our current situation and present readers with action items for how to improve it. Join us for a discussion of how we can escape the clutches of big money in media in this edition of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
