Episode 9: Who do you trust? (Part 2)
Manage episode 476075770 series 3646088
Trust is crumbling across America's democratic institutions, and we're getting to the bottom of why. The statistics tell a sobering story—news media currently ranks as the least trusted institution among ten U.S. civic and political organizations. Americans place more faith in local government than in state authorities, and trust state more than federal institutions.
We find common ground in recognizing the danger of a media landscape driven by profit rather than truth. Join us for this thought-provoking discussion on who controls information, how it affects democracy, and whether we can reclaim a shared reality based on facts rather than feelings. Subscribe now and be part of our mission to demonstrate how civil conversation bridges America's deepest divides.
