TBF 128 A Furnace Full of Fake News

Denzel famously said; "if you don't watch the news, you'll be uninformed, if you do watch the news you'll be misinformed, so what do you do?" Well today's episode was in part an attempt to address this question. In the post modern, post truth society we find ourselves in, how do we navigate the plethora of stories, and the intentions behind them, thrown our way on every page of every platform we engage with. We also talk about the "filter bubble" and how by virtue of design almost every social media platform works actively to show users what they would want to see, in attempt to keep their eyes on the platform and consequentially money flowing into facebook's, twitter's and instagram's pockets A clear sign of how Robert's absence literally results in an increase in useful information on the episode we have four hookups for you guys today. Peter shouted out Andy Mineo's new EP "The sword Pt 2", an eclectic and content packed hip hop ep by one of the better MC's around today.
