Part 9/12:
An intriguing segment delved into politics and societal trust. The host argued that all governments have historically lied, citing the COVID pandemic as a stark example where misinformation was exacerbated by media, government actions, and social platforms.
He pointed out that countries like North Korea exemplify extreme control over information, leading to absurd claims like their leader never poops—a reflection of the lengths authoritarian regimes go to manipulate narratives. Comparatively, he suggested the U.S. has its flaws but is often unfairly demonized.
