RE:Balance is back and rebooted!


News stories can get big very quickly and take on a life of their own, fuelled by social media and hot takes. So each week, RE:Balance will take those stories and give them context and new perspective - because you don’t have to agree with all sides of a story, but you should understand them.


THIS WEEK: Meta’s decision to end fact-checking on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads has caused all sorts of concern about misinformation and fake news.  And Mark Zuckerberg’s apparent cosying-up to Donald Trump hasn’t helped.  But he’s doing it for good reason - and they’re in his interests, not necessarily yours.
