Fear and Mistrust
from Documentary on One Podcast · host RTÉ
What happens when people stop having trust in the system? Two people who lost faith in the things they previously believed are Phil and Jean. Phil is a former conspiracy theorist. He spent over a year believing things like that 9/11 were a hoax. Jean used to get all her news from traditional sources. During Covid, Jean lost faith in this, and she turned to online alternative sources for information that resonated with her. We track the increase in people losing trust in media and governments from the time of the Blueshirts up to today, and look at the real world impacts this change is having.
