Is Greta Thunberg a grassroots truth-teller—or the most effective PR product of our time? In this explosive Heretics conversation, journalist and author Ashley Rindsberg joins Andrew Gold to argue that much of Greta’s global aura is the result of carefully engineered narratives, compliant media, and platforms like Wikipedia that can tilt the record in real time. Rindsberg lays out how reputations are manufactured, protected, and weaponised—and why, in his view, the public rarely sees the full picture.

Inside the episode, Ashley breaks down:

👉 How editorial gatekeeping and “reliable sources” policies can sanitize criticism and amplify praise

👉 The pipeline from activist talking points to headline “consensus,” and why debate gets framed as “denial”

👉 How paid editing/PR laundering and talk-page “consensus” can freeze critical details on Wikipedia

👉 Why Google results and AI training data then recycle that slant across the entire web

👉 Simple checks to verify before you believe: read Talk pages, compare diffs, triangulate sources, follow the PR money

Andrew’s calm, forensic style keeps the discussion on receipts, process, and accountability—not ad hominem. Expect a rigorous look at the climate-activism media complex: how funding flows shape coverage, how labels like “misinformation” police the discourse, and how reputations harden into unchallengeable myths. Whether you admire Greta or question her brand, this interview asks the uncomfortable questions: Who writes the story? Who benefits? And what happens to dissenters who try to edit the narrative?

If you’ve ever trusted a Wikipedia summary, a Google knowledge panel, or an influencer’s “organic” rise, this conversation will change how you read the internet—and how you judge power.

Editorial note: The episode presents Ashley Rindsberg’s analysis and opinions for public-interest debate.
