Description

The people in power always try to distort or hide the truth, but in North-America both sides of the aisle use different techniques to spin their narratives. In this episode, Christine and Alex discuss how this propaganda has been spun in the past, how different political bases respond to different techniques, and how we can be cautious to avoid losing touch with reality.
