The Co-option of the Alternative Media

The podcast episode discusses the co-option of the alternative media that began in 2016. It highlights how prominent figures within the independent and alternative media have been strategically placed to capture and redirect the audience back to the establishment. This co-option has led to a loss of trust, as pundits who once claimed to challenge the mainstream narrative now perpetuate the same narrative in a different guise.
