ICYMI - This Country Runs On Slop
Published 2 months ago
Description
On today’s episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by Mia Sato, reporter at The Verge and author of the recent piece, “The rise of the slopagandist.” Creators like Nick Shirley are claiming to be journalists, making unfounded accusations against immigrants that directly result in ICE raids, including the unrest in Minneapolis that resulted in the death of two civilians. The content is lazy and designed to generate outrage, but is only becoming more influential as traditional journalism continues to decline.
This podcast is produced by Daisy Rosario, Vic Whitley-Berry, and Kate Lindsay.
