New York Post columnist Lydia Moynihan went on Fox News this week to blame podcasts for turning younger generations against mainstream media and establishment narratives.
“The uncertainty that people had about government during COVID” has now extended to “questioning the moon landing and the holocaust and embracing conspiracy theories wholeheartedly,” she said.
Fox host Brian Kilmeade added, “And, you know, ‘Israel is behind all of our moves because someone said it on a podcast,'” also saying he runs into people who say things like, “‘The President of France’s wife is a man.'”
FBI whistleblower Kyle Seraphin wrote, “Can we please have a 19 yr old boy with no wife, no kids, no career, no experience growing up in the analog world tell the Fox News Boomer grandparents about how smart phones are bad please?”
Journalist Glenn Greenwald commented on the segment, writing, “Hilarious that many conservatives heralded podcasts and independent media as the Nation’s salvation: just a year ago when they helped Trump win. Now many of those podcasters criticize Israel and Trump’s captivity to it, so now they’re poison. Must trust corporate media again.”
The network news attack screamed jealousy and panic, exposing the harsh reality that most Americans have stopped relying on a few gatekeeping outlets that spoon-feed them Washington-approved lies.
