In this episode, Bill Stierle and Tom discuss the Netflix docu-series, “The Puppet Master.” Specifically, they dissect the methods of manipulation the “ultimate conman” used to explain the events that led to his eventual release after his arrest. The two elaborate further on how the media uses language and communication to manipulate its audiences. They cite the recent incident between Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz as a prime albeit more nuanced example. Tune in for an interesting conversation that tackles how news outlets are now putting emphasis on high ratings versus integrity.
