In this compelling episode, we explore the powerful role that both traditional media and social media play in deepening divisions within the UK. From sensational headlines that stoke fear and mistrust to the echo chambers of social media that amplify hate and misinformation, the forces driving us apart are more active than ever. But this isn’t just accidental chaos—it's a deliberate strategy used by those in power to keep the public distracted and divided.
We delve into the calculated tactics used by some UK newspapers to manipulate public opinion, particularly during the Brexit campaign, and examine how social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter have become the perfect amplifiers for these divisive narratives. We also take a critical look at the government's complicity in this situation, highlighting how political figures have exploited these media channels to spread fear and entrench societal divisions further.
What can be done to hold both the media and the government accountable? And how can we as a society resist the forces that seek to tear us apart? Tune in to hear our thoughts and take the first step towards a more united, fairer future.
