In a special joint broadcast with the Media & Democracy Program, Nolan Higdon sits down with host Spencer Graves to dissect how mainstream news organizations misdirect the public when covering systemic power, the limits of corporate media censorship, and the democratic tools needed to fight back. For decades, the public has relied on traditional news pipelines to make sense of international relations, but today's media landscapes often reduce complex global scandals to superficial headlines while ignoring deeper structural collusion. Spencer joins Nolan to look past the surface-level narratives. We examine critical media literacy as an essential line of defense against authoritarianism, the concentration of corporate media ownership, and strategies for building civic resistance in a digitized ecosystem. This episode pulls back the curtain on why mainstream outlets fail to convince the public of political deception, the lack of institutional accountability in the U.S., and the practical steps citizens can take to dismantle propaganda networks. #NolanHigdon #TheDisinfoDetox #SpencerGraves #MediaAndDemocracy #MediaLiteracy #CorporatePower #Authoritarianism #Propaganda #CivicResistance #Democracy #MediaCriticism #PoliticalDeception
