This episode dives into how 90% of what we watch, listen to, and read is owned by only SIX corporations. Part 2/2.

Corporate News Is UNHEALTHY (1/2)
Part 1 of my 2-part episode “Corporate News is UNHEALTHY” focuses on the importance of seeking quality, accurate information. With the help of mediabiasfactcheck.com I break down how media outlets like CNN and Fox News are not the most trustworthy sources for seeking news coverage and why they are allowed to brand themselves as news outlets despite their unreliable patterns. I also include three news outlets that I prefer due to their high factual reporting and minimal bias: The Associated Press, NPR, and Politico.
