Sydney Sweeney, Epstein, and Murdoch Walk into a News Cycle

from The Disinfo Detox · host Nolan Higdon

🎙️ This Week on The Disinfo Detox with the Media Literacy Wrecking Crew 🎙️In this episode, we rip the mask off media spin and disinfo—from tabloid tricks to elite narratives. The Wrecking Crew dives deep into how the media is framing everything from Sydney Sweeney’s Ford ad to Jeffrey Epstein’s name-dropping bombshells. Is Russiagate making a quiet comeback? Why does it seem like Epstein’s ties are suddenly “bipartisan”?📌 We also break down Rupert Murdoch’s not-so-subtle attempt to bring a New York Post-style rag to California—just in time for 2026 and 2028. What’s behind this tabloid invasion, and what does it mean for the state’s already fragile media ecosystem?🕵️‍♂️ Plus:Truth or Troll? A new viral video has everyone fooled—but is it satire, psyop, or both?Media Literacy Moment: What to do when “journalists” cite anonymous sources and unverified screenshots—again.The Sidebar: What’s being ignored while the media fixates on Sweeney’s jeans and “both sides” of Epstein?🔥 Whether you’re here to detox from the media or demolish its worst habits, this episode’s got something for every truth junkie.📢 Support the show & join the conversation:🧠 Subscribe to our Substacks for exclusive essays & media critiques:Nolan Higdon: ⁠⁠https://nolanhigdon.substack.com/⁠⁠Sydney Sullivan: ⁠⁠https://substack.com/@sydneysullivanphd⁠⁠💥 Become a patron and help us keep the detox going: https://www.patreon.com/DisinfoDetox✅ Don’t forget to:👍 Like💬 Comment🔁 Share🔔 Subscribe and hit the bell to stay informed (and a little detoxed) every week!
