"What does this mean for everyday citizens and their role in the democratic process? How can we, as informed individuals, better navigate the sea of disinformation?"
In this episode, Pastor Paul Blair and David Hanan, Ph.D., explore media bias and its implications for public opinion and democracy. They also examine the controversy surrounding voice assistants like Alexa and their responses to questions about political candidates and voting. How does AI, like Alexa, potentially influence voters with its carefully curated answers?
We'll also explore the brief ban of X (formerly Twitter) in Brazil in 2024. The Brazilian government acted against X after failing to comply with regulations regarding spreading misinformation, particularly surrounding elections. We'll discuss how disinformation policies and moderation were insufficient to protect public safety, leading to legal restrictions and bans in certain countries.
In addition, we examine Mark Zuckerberg's confession regarding the Biden-Harris White House's involvement in shaping disinformation tactics, raising concerns about the extent of government influence on social media platforms.
Join us as we navigate these turbulent waters, discussing the intersection of media, technology, and politics, and how they shape the narratives we hear during election seasons.
Tune in for an eye-opening conversation that will leave you questioning the role of media bias in shaping the world's political landscape.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
