Summary

We’ve been discussing the importance of critical thinking lately, and journalist Mosheh Oinounou helps us to realize how important it is. Mosheh’s news-neutral platform strives to share the news that matters most with a critical eye toward facts. We discuss the current wave of news coverage and journalism, why nobody is truly unbiased, why so much news gets turned into “infotainment,” and the difficulties of being unbiased in a social media world.
