Summary

In a world obsessed with attention, are we rewarding the worst in us? In today’s PT. 2 episode, Chris Hayes and Ryan dive deep into how virtue signaling has transformed into full-blown vice signaling in today’s attention economy. They discuss the unraveling of traditional journalism ethics, the decline of shared moral standards, and society’s unsettling attraction to vice.

Chris Hayes is the Emmy Award–winning host of All In with Chris Hayes on MSNBC and the New York Times bestselling author of A Colony in a Nation and Twilight of the Elites. Chris’ latest book is called The Sirens' Call: How Attention Became the World's Most Endangered Resource.
