Hi everybody Cheryl Ackison

Cheryl Ackison here.

Welcome to another edition of the Cheryl Ackison podcast.

Today hear the Un and sometimes outrageous details of news reporters caught

coordinating behind the scenes with political hacks, giving them advanced drafts of news stories, allowing them to suggest

rewrites, letting political interests use the news reporters to put out a narrative dictating

the timing and terms, all documented by leaked emails and other sources.

What does it say about journalism today? Today our information landscape is marred by propaganda and corruption, much of it influenced by the pharmaceutical government media complex

and there's evidence it's impacting our health in a major way.

Since you're listening to this podcast,

I know you're an independent thinker and you're going to this podcast, I know you're an independent thinker,

and you're going to love hearing what I've learned about how it works, who's behind it,

and what you can do. In my new book, Follow the Science, How Big Pharma Misleads, Obscures, and Prevails.

You can order from the bookstore of your choice or at Harper Collins or Amazon.

Look for Follow the Science by Cheryl Ackison.

On my new sub-stack I wrote about this interesting topic.

Some of it's, I guess, inside baseball when it comes to journalism and what's going

wrong and what's happened to journalism, but I think it really impacts a lot of news consumers.

Well, I wrote one article and then a follow-up which we're going to talk about today

and they were so popular I thought maybe I ought to turn this into a podcast for people who aren't reading the print versions of my

substack. So this is the audio version, the podcast version of these substack

articles. I hope you find it informative and interesting.
