Can We Trust the Media Anymore? Bridget Phetasy and Jeren Montgomery Weigh In

No, I don't trust and believe anyone says, with the exception of maybe you don't, maybe not when it comes to the media stuff, but I can use that as a filter to sort of pick and choose who I'm going to listen to.
Ever feel like you can't trust anything you read or watch anymore? Bridget Phetasy and her co-host, Jeren Montgomery, tackle this very issue in their latest episode of 'Factory Settings'. They dive into the murky waters of media trust, questioning whether it's truly dead and what, if anything, could bring it back to life. Growing up, where did you get your news from?
Bridget and Jeren reflect on their own experiences and discuss why media outlets feel the need to brand themselves as the ultimate truth-tellers while discrediting others. It's a fascinating look at how money and power play into the media landscape, making it hard to know who to believe. The conversation gets even deeper as they explore the psychological impact of consuming news and information. Is it scarier to be a true believer or a skeptic?
And what about social media's role in all this? With the upcoming election cycle, this debate couldn't be more timely. Bridget and Jeren also touch on journalistic integrity and the desperate need for civil discourse and unbiased reporting. If you've ever questioned where you should get your information from or wondered if any news source can be trusted, this episode is a must-listen. Join them for an engaging and thought-provoking discussion that might just change how you see the news.
