  • So biased and woke

    I can’t listen anymore. I have tried for over a year but the one-sided, hyperbolic rubbish these two keep dribbling out is too much. No open interrogation of the core issues or policy to inform voters, just take downs and gotcha moments of any politician or pole results they don’t align with. Trashing ordinary people who hold opposing views, convinced they are just puppets of social media scions, when they are capable of independent thought. You two just push people further to the right.

  • Diphtheria podcast

    I found that this story unnecessarily denigrated public health staff from state run clinics eg WACHS.

    It’s very unlikely that staff at WACHS clinics would not be seeking to increase diphtheria awareness.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The politics of an online outrage industry
Q: Is there an antidote to Angertainment beyond simply being more polite or positive online?
Yes, the antidotes include authenticity, joyful and hopeful messaging where appropriate, and deploying a range of communication styles that can compete with anger in the algorithm, not just shouting but also thoughtful, well-reasoned engagement.
The politics of an online outrage industry
Q: What role should journalism play in countering outrage and preserving democratic discourse?
Journalism should adapt by being present on the platforms where people consume content, using diverse formats, and maintaining rigorous quality and ethics while also leveraging authentic, human storytelling to cut through simplistic, angry narratives. This is essential to protect democracy and informed public decision-making.
The politics of an online outrage industry
Q: Do you think there is proof of a deliberate plan behind these outrage campaigns, or is it mostly opportunistic?
There isn't concrete proof of a centralized plan in most cases, but there are circumstantial signals and comments from within marketing teams that suggest a deliberate strategy to provoke discussion and engagement. The broader ecosystem includes individuals who amplify manufactured grievances to capture attention.
The politics of an online outrage industry
Q: Hi Ed, welcome to the Full Story. Could you explain Angertainment using the Sydney Sweeney/Good Genes example?
Angertainment is the way social media feeds are filled with manufactured outrage around celebrities or topics, designed to trigger emotional responses and drive engagement, even when the underlying issue is not inherently newsworthy. It works because the outrage is curated by a web of actors who test what sticks and keep pushing narratives until they resonate with large audiences.
What’s behind the protests in India?
Q: What role did Sonam Wangchuk play in sustaining the movement?
Wangchuk provided a unifying figure through a high-profile hunger strike, which drew attention to the cause and lent moral weight to the protests, helping to sustain momentum and international awareness.
