ELECTIONS, AND MEDIA BIAS: An American Expat's Perspective

Season 3 Episode 156 Published 1 year, 2 months ago
Description

The world of politics reveals striking parallels between Filipino elections and American political discourse, highlighting universal hypocrisies. When politicians openly engage in questionable practices while criticizing opponents for the same actions, this behavior mirrors broader patterns seen in media coverage and public discourse.

• Mother's Day celebrations differ between Philippines and America, with American traditions being more commercialized
• Filipino local elections feature open vote-buying despite being illegal
• Political hypocrisy exists universally with parties accusing opponents of things they themselves do
• Mainstream media continues losing viewership to podcasts and independent content creators
• News consumption requires multiple sources to avoid being either uninformed or misinformed
• Political memory bias allows people to forget inconsistencies in their preferred party's positions
• The trajectory of politics appears to be shifting away from extreme positions
