Some stories make headlines. Others get ignored. On "Unreported," Meagan Medick takes a deeper look at the stories others gloss over or blow off.

In this episode, Meagan sits down with Douglas Rushkoff, one of the first in Silicon Valley to sound the alarm about AI. Are algorithms a new form of mind control, similar to MK-Ultra? They dive into questions around whether AI was designed to exploit us as a society and how powerful corporations are the real winners at the end of the day.

NewsNation’s "Unreported with Meagan Medick" is built on the idea that some of the most important stories are the ones that don’t make the headlines. A seasoned network executive producer, Meagan brings a rare behind-the-scenes perspective to the front of the camera, taking the reins on stories she believes deserve more attention while asking questions other outlets often overlook or ridicule.

Through thoughtful conversations with creators, experts and insiders, this show cuts through the noise to make complicated, viral, fringe or misunderstood topics actually make sense, exploring stories ranging from government coverups to A.I. to paranormal phenomena and explaining the origins of conspiracy theories and other enduring mysteries.

New episodes will premiere every Wednesday, offering bold perspectives on interesting stories that continue to spark widespread intrigue.
