   HuffPost’s Family Estrangement Playbook: Episode 2 The Receipts

   In Episode 1, I showed you the pattern.In Episode 2, I bring the receipts that show you how it is built. We go directly into HuffPost articles about toxic parents, narcissistic parents, boundaries, and estrangement to examine the exact language, the professional authority behind it, what is established, and what is assumed. Throughout this episode, I’m going to reference HuffPost directly and identify the authors of the specific articles we discuss. My focus is not one isolated article. I’m examining what I believe is a repeated editorial pattern across HuffPost’s coverage of toxic parents, narcissistic parents, low contact, no contact, and family estrangement. Source and contributor note: statements discussed in this episode are based on quotations and attributions appearing in the published HuffPost articles. When this episode states that a contributor “said” something, it means HuffPost attributes that statement to that contributor. Unless otherwise specified in the article, the podcast does not know the original interview question, complete conversation, or additional context surrounding the quotation. This episode analyzes how the statements are presented and framed in the published articles.

   HuffPost’s Family Estrangement Playbook: Episode 1 The Pattern

   In Part 1 of this two-part series, Dr. Traci examines a pattern across HuffPost’s coverage of toxic parents, narcissism, low contact, no contact, and family estrangement. Rather than analyzing each article individually, this episode looks at the cumulative message: the labels, the professional authority, the psychological framing, the social proof, what gets left out, and how that content reaches families through social media.Episode 1 is about the pattern.Episode 2 is about the receipts. Throughout this episode, I’m going to reference HuffPost directly and identify the authors of the specific articles we discuss. My focus is not one isolated article.

   Encore: I Am Right and You Are Wrong—Where the HuffPost Series Began

   Before releasing our new two-part series examining HuffPost’s coverage of family estrangement, we are returning to Andrea Tate's HuffPost episode that started it all. This is one of our earliest and most-listened-to episodes. It is passionate, personal, and presented exactly as it originally aired.
