they think it's all about stability and preventing authoritarianism but really it's just a way to control other countries and impose their own agenda on them 
and I'm like honestly what even is the point of democracy if you're just gonna undermine it from the inside out? 
and don't even get me started on corporate interests manipulating news coverage 
we need more outlets like The Intercept that's actually doing journalism not just regurgitating what the powerful people want to hear 
anyway, it's all about being aware of how news is reported and not just taking stuff at face value. independent media outlets like The Intercept are def the real deal 
. And don't even get me started on how much corporate interests influence the news we consume it's like we can't even trust our own eyes anymore 
. Independent media outlets like The Intercept are doing some good work but it's hard to feel optimistic when the system is so broken 
just listened to this podcast and I gotta say it's really making me think about our role in the world as citizens 
. I mean we all know that countries have their own agendas but do we ever stop to consider how our actions might be affecting other nations? 
It's crazy to think about the history of US interference in countries with leftist governments and how it can lead to devastating consequences like what's happening in Venezuela right now 
. We need more voices like The Intercept that can hold power accountable and provide a critical perspective on current events 
. Let's make sure we're supporting independent journalism and staying informed about what's going on around the world 
. And don't even get me started on the media – corporate interests can totally skew the narrative 
. I feel like we need more podcasts like this one, where ppl can have real conversations about politics and social issues without any agenda 
.
. We need to stay informed and engaged about what's going on in the world. Let's keep the conversation going! 
.
. The Intercept seems like a great resource for that kind of thing - it's always good to have someone keeping an eye on the powerful folks in charge 
that's so important, imo. if we don't do our part to educate ourselves and others, how can we expect change to happen?
