Federal Government's Financial Control Over Media

The podcast reveals disturbing evidence that the federal government has been financially supporting media outlets, effectively controlling them. Investigations show that billions meant for foreign aid have been funneled into news organizations, compromising their independence. This manipulation echoes historical propaganda practices, likening the current situation to Orwell's '1984' and highlighting a concerning similarity to tactics used in 1930s Germany. Notably, the case of Politico receiving substantial taxpayer funding raises questions about media integrity and prompts skepticism about the narratives that dominate public discourse.
