Summary

Chelsea welcomes comedian and "Advice No One Asked For" author Jenny Hagel to unpack the viral Vulture article “The Feed Is Fake.” They dive into how our conversations and social media discourse is being manufactured and manipulated by stealth marketing, clipping campaigns, and content farms to produce celebrity smear campaigns and shape narratives around court verdicts. They also look back at how the rise and fall of the blogosphere changed internet discourse and whether this is an old problem or a new one.
