The media in its various forms (television, radio, etc) is by itself a tool. How it is used is based on the individual’s needs and perspective.
The new five-part podcast, On the Media: The Divided Dial is a part of the long-running WNYC produced On the Media program. The focus of this short-lived series is how a certain company (which I will not name in this blog) has used the media to share its right-wing perspective with its listeners.
So far, three of the five episodes have aired. From my perspective, it is a reminder that this perversion is here to stay and has been part of our cultural landscape for many years. Though the argument for free speech is valid, relevant, and important, there is the question of what happens when the line that leads to violence and hatred is crossed.
Do I recommend it? Yes.
New episodes of On the Media: The Divided Dial is released every Tuesday.
