Filmmaker Alex Winter joins The Left Hook to discuss how right-wing media and big tech have monetized disinformation to radicalize Americans, spread confusion, and ultimately help Trump win.
Omg Alex Winter! I'm nerding out coz I love documentaries and I know Alex's work quite well - The Panama Papers, Downloaded, The YouTube Effect. I appreciate people who value and appreciate the truth. Simple.
Awesome interview Waj aka the "Guest Guru". 😎🙂👏🏼👍🏼
there were advertisements placed by republicans that apparently appeared to be from VP Harris, bi-laterally addressing issues example: her being pro-Palestinian addressed to Jewish areas, and pro-Jewish in Muslim areas… to get people to not vote, or to vote for not VP Harris. reminds of Reagan ads fear mongering against Dukakis…
I’m no lawyer, nor have the backing but hearing we can possibly attack the algorithms vs. the individuals that post. Can we do a collective puke for the money spent on this election vs. your pet project to make things better? Know that doesn’t help, but can we stop and put those funds to better use?

Very interesting. Thank you bringing this to light. 💙
Absolutely essential conversation! Knowledge is power. Thanks, Waj!
MONETIZATION OF PROPAGANDA!! 1000% OUR PROBLEM - blame Reagan era for the beginning of the end.
This was an excellent discussion! I may be an "old" lady but I now have mad respect for Alex Winter who has always been a great actor!

Blame this blame that…the only people that are to blame are the PEOPLE that voted for Trump. PERIOD.
It seems to me that Yawya Sinwar throwing a stick at an Israeli drone with one arm left is more badass than Donald and his staged owie.
Very interesting 👌 👍
Maybe we can ask people if the "news" they hear makes them really angry. These propagandists are playing on their emotions.
There's a reason fact-based news is boring. It doesn't seek to get a rise out of people. It seeks to inform.
