Once the watchdog of democracy, the media has become the lapdog of power. In this episode of Awfully Unfiltered, we autopsy the corpse of mainstream journalism, riddled with both-sides-ism, corporate ownership, and a pathological fear of calling a lie a lie. From Canada's neutered public broadcasters to America's fact-free infotainment factories, we expose how the press stopped speaking truth to power and started cozying up to it.
We unpack why “neutrality” has become the enemy of truth, how billionaire media barons are shaping narratives, and why independent platforms are now the last line of defense for honest reporting. This isn’t just a critique—it’s a eulogy—and a rallying cry.
The media isn’t biased. It’s broken.
And it’s time we stopped pretending otherwise.
“The media didn’t die with a bang—it bled out slowly from a thousand cuts: budget cuts, truth cuts, spine cuts. And while it gasped for relevance, billionaires bought the corpse and dressed it up like a journalist.”
