2/10
A Letter From The Ministry Of Truth?
11 October 2023
I use to rate this program highly. It had at least at one time, a lot of integrity, and fairly strong investigative reporting. However like a lot of modern media, it has now become little more than biased political propaganda. In their most recent episode, I noticed not only blatant and important pieces of information entirely ignored, but also the other side of the story mostly just glossed over, especially in the last hour of the program. They try to somewhat make it look legit, as if it isn't just a hit piece. However if you follow the stories closely yourself from all sides, don't be surprised to see that these days even this show is now extremely compromised. It's not a wonder that many more independently minded podcasts are now taking over a large portion of the media audience. Television journalism with integrity is essentially dead, the same could mostly be said for newspapers and radio. Science has shown us that fear slows the mind. For us as humans to be focusing on fear over facts, seems to be among the most unscientific things we could possibly be doing. Yet it's exactly this, and the beloved buzzword of the times, 'misinformation' that most media outlets continue to embrace and push.

My old rating of this program - 7.5/10

My rating of the modern program, and this rating may even be somewhat generous I feel. - 2/10.
