Her message is clear: before we repeat, repost, or react, we need to practice discernment.This episode is about truth, accountability, media literacy, and learning how not to be manipulated by narratives designed to divide, distract, or deceive.▶︎ In This Episode00:00 – Introduction00:32 – Misinformation vs. disinformation01:17 – When wrong information spreads02:03 – Why soundbites can mislead02:45 – Intentional disinformation campaigns03:45 – Jordan Chiles and harmful narratives06:28 – AI, deepfakes, and manipulated messaging07:41 – Final reminder: practice discernment🔗 ResourcesLinks and resources mentioned in this episode:🔔 Listen and SubscribeListen to this episode and subscribe for future updatessubscribe to A Black Executive Perspective podcast onYouTube PodcastsApple PodcastsSpotify PodcastsAmazon MusicOther platforms or by searching "TonyTidbit"if you like what we're doing and would like to support us, here's some ways you can help us continue the uncomfortable conversations that drive changesubscribe to our newslettergive us up to a 5 star review on Apple Podcastsshare an episode with a friend, family member or colleague🗣️ Follow @ablackexecfollow us across social media @aBlackExecLinkedInInstagramFacebookYouTubeTwitterTikTokWhatsApp⭐️ Follow @TonyTidbitfollow Tony across social media @TonyTidbitTwitterLinkedInFacebookThis episode was produced by TonyTidbit ™ .
