The Rise of Two and Nine Times: Uncovering Misinformation

The podcast episode explores the rise of a media outlet called Two and Nine Times, which operates in the city of Stockton. Two and Nine Times fills the void created by the vanishing local news industry and has gained popularity by exposing corruption and reporting on local issues. The founder, Motek Sanchez, takes pride in taking down politicians and standing up against local government corruption. However, concerns are raised about the ethics of Two and Nine Times, as it often publishes misinformation, lacks transparency, and fails to minimize harm. The episode highlights the complex dynamics between media outlets, community members, and the truth in the current media landscape.
