Love the Podcast and even thougb your political leanings are clear, I generally think you both do a good job of steering clear of turning this into a one sided political podcast, but I was a bit disappointed in this episode and felt it offered a very one sided approach. Media manipulation isn't a leftist thing, but something both the left and right have been heavily indulging in for the last 30 years. Yes, they have always been intertwined, but not like they are today. I absolutely agree that you're not going to find a whole lot in the NYT that doesn't have liberal finger prints all over it, but Fox News is still the number one news organization in the U.S., yet somehow the powerful ecosystem they have developed goes unmentioned. I really think you should have touched on the FCC's Fairness Doctrine and its dissolution in the Reagan era. That to me laid the groundwork for major media organizations to become overtly political and essentially to become extensions of the left and right
