Consider This from NPR - BONUS: A Looping Revolt

Stockton, Calif., may represent the future of American news.

The city's longtime newspaper, The Record, has lost reporters, subscribers and, therefore, power. Meanwhile a non-traditional news source, a controversial online outlet called 209 Times, has quickly become one of the most popular sources of news in town. It proudly doesn't follow most journalistic norms and brags about tanking the previous mayor's campaign. Critics say the 209 Times is filling Stockton with misinformation.

Yowei Shaw, host of NPR's Invisibilia, investigates.

Find all three parts of "The Chaos Machine," Invisibilia's series about 209 Times here.

This Machine Kills - Patreon Preview – 75. Here’s to the Pigs

(Jathan's mic is busted for this episode – sorry!) We hit y’all with a double header about what happens when the cop in our mind is allowed to thrive. First is the psychodrama and that led to a successful member of the liberal professoriate to become a cop just to sate her curiosity and stick it to her mom. Second is the entrepreneurs who prey on the social anxiety and paranoia to whip people into frenzy as a way to sell their technologies of private policing.
