Episode description

Media manipulation is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that involves the use of various techniques to influence public opinion and behavior. Governments and organizations often use implanted articles, media, news stories, and advertisements to achieve their goals. This essay will explore the different ways in which media manipulation is used, supported by studies from CERN, PubMed, and NCIB. We will also examine how the U.S. government and China use media to propagate favorable narratives and shape public opinion. Finally, we will look at the roles that companies and scientific institutions play in influencing perceptions and behaviors through strategic communication.
