Miscellaneous
The media is facing a lot of criticism in countries like the US, the UK or Germany. While Donald Trump is just referring to them as Fake News, whenever it's convenient and because he doesn't like to be held accountable, there are very good reasons to criticize the Media on a lot of things. In this teaser episode, I'll focus on two central points, that have been raised many times over the years already. Yet, the criticism is probably more valid and urgent today than ever before. More on that in my next Episode.
