Masks, Media, and Modern America: Ben Stein's Bold Take
The problem is if this were, if this were even or three, yes, but because of the iron curtain that the mass media has drawn up around anything questioning The Democrat Party or the liberals, it's very hard for the Republicans to make any points at all.
Imagine a world where questioning the norm is met with resistance. In this episode of 'The World According to Ben Stein', Ben Stein and Judah Friedman dive into the hot-button issue of masks during the pandemic. They don't outright dismiss masks but challenge the science behind mandates, especially for kids. Are we blindly following rules without solid evidence? That's just the tip of the iceberg.
The hosts also shine a light on how the media shapes our perceptions, often silencing any dissenting voices. They liken it to an 'iron curtain' around any critique of the Democrat Party or liberal ideologies. But the conversation doesn't stop there. They delve into the troubling rise of anti-Semitism and the BDS movement, questioning the corporate powers that seem to support these agendas.
Higher education and woke culture also come under scrutiny, as the hosts discuss how these elements are infiltrating every aspect of American life. With their no-holds-barred approach, Ben and Judah offer a raw and unfiltered perspective on these pressing issues. If you're looking for a podcast that challenges mainstream narratives and makes you think, this episode is a must-listen.
