Description
Heard Tell for Thursday, March 10th, 2022, is turning down the noise and getting to the information we need on the "new" Iron Curtain as Russia is isolated with sanctions and Vladimir Putin tries to crack down on information, media, and technology to control the narrative internally on his war of aggression against Ukraine. We compare the information/propaganda efforts of the Cold War to what is happening now and have a stark warning that we cannot apply American sensibilities to a Russian people that are going to be told it is the West’s fault, and a dictator in Putin who will feed Russia’s traditional paranoia and sense of victimhood. Also, the hidden costs of medical care in America are a growing problem, and states passing transparency laws in pricing and billing is only highlighting the issue further. We take a case in Colorado as an example to discuss the highly complicated issue, and how buzzwords and one-size-fits-all solutions often proposed in media/social media aren’t going to help either. Guest Sarah Stook returns to Heard Tell with some great historical perspective on the educations of US Presidents. Ivy League vs non-Ivy League, Military and self-taught, to even college dropouts, what does the education paths our president’s have taken tell us, and how some universal issues with higher education apply even to those who end up in the highest office of the land. Plus, the Supreme Court has ruled on congressional maps for North Carolina and Pennsylvania, and the NFL’s Man of the Year has some pertinent advice about social media and making a difference. All that and more on this Thursday edition of Heard Tell.
