🎙️ EP#219 | DSD | TIME Magazine, Kamala & Kaizen, NPR, Goldman Sachs, Ethel Kennedy, Biden & Bibi

In this episode, we explore how narratives change quickly in today’s media landscape, focusing on Time Magazine's recent stance on processed foods. After Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign emphasized health concerns, Time released an article questioning the harm of ultra-processed foods. Following public backlash, the article’s title was adjusted. This sparks a broader discussion on media influence, the power of social media, and misinformation in health reporting.

The episode also delves into the media’s treatment of political figures like RFK Jr. and his family. The discussion highlights how Ethel Kennedy’s passing was subtly handled by major outlets like CNN, which only mentioned her son, RFK Jr., late in their reporting. This segment reveals how media controls narratives, especially around high-profile families and their legacies.

Lastly, the discussion turns to international relations, notably the 49-day gap in communication between President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, despite ongoing U.S. financial support to Israel. This raises questions about transparency in diplomatic relations and the significance of such a lengthy silence. Listeners are encouraged to think critically about the alliances and narratives that dominate the media.
