Today’s Media. Purveyors of Truth, or Ministers of Propaganda?
Manage episode 344058302 series 3166727
Whether it is the protests occurring thought the United States, the worldwide pandemic, or politics, many people are no longer giving the media their trust. Year after year, and poll by poll, Americans, Canadians, and other people throughout the western world, are losing their faith and trust in their media and most major news outlets. For the major players in the United States, such as ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, and many major newspapers, their market share is declining on a steady annual basis.
The founding fathers of the United States thought the media should have special constitutional protection to be the watchdog to have honest and open government. Today, the media is becoming the message. Bob opens the program with his thoughts on these major topics in our news, and how the media has used and often distorted these events. Bob also welcomes Frank Salvato to the program with a segment entitled “The Media & First Amendment Protection: Abuse of Power.” Frank is also the host of The Underground Podcast.

On the second segment of the program, Bob welcomes Bob Parks from Black and Blonde Media, for a very different segment. Instead of talking the issues of the day, the two Bobs talk about music, and a music project that Bob Parks is investing a goodly amount of his time. You can even hear some of the music that Bob Parks has composed. It makes a nice diversion from today’s depressing headlines.
