The election I believe was stolen but we know that Space force
has it all Trump has all the information, it's gonna be overturned.
>> What do you think Space force has.
>> Space force is a military branch of the just like the army
that all the military and they literally walk up here and
they literally the night of the election,
they literally watched the election be stolen.
>> Some might listen to that rambling nonsense and think to themselves,
how could anyone believe this?
Well Joe Biden has apparently referred to Rupert Murdoch,
the man behind Fox News channel as the most dangerous man in the world.
And that's according to a forthcoming book by New York Times reporters Alex burns and
Jonathan martin.
So they talk about this, they write about this in their book and
guess what Biden is right because media and the filter bubbles that come
along with it do a great job in propagandizing and radicalizing people.
In fact, here's a little more of what it actually results in.
This is a lovely woman from Ohio, continuing on with
her crazy election fraud conspiracy theories.
>> I believe that we're gonna have an emergency broadcast and
the military is gonna come in with Martial Law.
And we're gonna be shown eight hours on eight hours off
of videos for seven days the world and they're gonna be
showing us taped tribunals, taped confessions.
And the world is gonna be awakened to what's really going
on with the deep state.
>> So Jake we've got a case study there in regard to how right wing media,
you know radicalizes people into thinking all sorts of insane things,
including the big lie regarding the 2020 election.
But there's actual data,
there's actually a recent study that we'll get into that proves this point.
But before we get to that, any words for Julie from Ohio.
>> Yeah, obviously seek mental health counseling.
But other than that though,
you have to understand she's not purely crazy or purely unintelligent.
It's easy to conclude that listening to the cuckoo for
cocoa puffs stuff that she was saying.
But remember she got that from somewhere and
there's a story in another part of the rundown today we're gonna
do where it shows that if you make Fox News viewers watch CNN.
They wind up having different opinions.
>> We're gonna do that right now.
>> Okay, yeah okay, good.
And you'll see the power of media, but
whenever you see somebody saying something incredibly crazy,
they got that from right wing media, they didn't make it up on their own.
So right wing media is institutionalized, lying and
lying about insane stuff and they hide all the actual facts.
She's not making an active decision between reality and falsehood,
she's only seen the falsehood.
So and by the way, one of the things that you saw there in that clip is what
they're priming everybody for and having them look forward to it.
Which is martial law, she said, it's gonna be great,
we're gonna have Martial law etc.
>> Yeah, it's amazing how much they actually hate democracy or
how much they've been bamboozled into thinking democracy needs to
be dismantled in an effort to ensure that their favorite person remains in power.
I mean, it's just, it is crazy but to your point Jake, I think it's important for
people to keep in mind that these filter bubbles do exist,
propaganda is incredibly powerful.
And there's a recent example in the form of a study,
I wanna share the results of that study with you.
So these researchers looked into what would happen to,
let's say a regular Fox News viewer, If they were asked
to watch CNN for seven hours a week instead, okay.
Would their political views change, what would their take on various issues,
current events change and you'd be shocked to find out?
Yeah, there was definitely an impact, the title of the study is the manifold effects
of partisan media on viewers, beliefs and attitudes.
A field experiment with Fox News viewers by David, Brockman and Joshua Kalla.
And here's what they found, of the 763 qualifying participants, we then
randomized 40% of the treatment group to change the slant of their media diet.
We offered treatment group participants $15 per hour to
watch seven hours of CNN per week during September of 2020.
Prioritizing the hours at which participants indicated they typically
watched Fox News.
Now here were the results, they found the participants became more likely
to agree that if Donald Trump made a mistake, Fox News would not cover it.
It found that Fox News gave viewers information about why the disease is not
a serious threat while CNN provided a lot more information about the disease itself.
Now the survey was conducted after three days on the participants
which again captured significant shifts in their beliefs on COVID.
For instance, viewers who switched were 6% points more likely to believe other
countries handled the virus better than the United States.
Five points more likely to believe that people suffer from what's known as
long COVID.
And 11 points less likely to say a president should focus
more on containing violent protests than the pandemic.
Then you move over to other issues on the presidential candidate
Mr Biden switchers were 13, 13 points less likely to agree that
we'll see many more police get shot by black lives matter activists.
If he was elected and 10 points less likely to believe his
supporters were happy when police officers got shot.
And then finally on mail in voting switches were seven points
more likely to support mail in voting after watching CNN.
So the media matters,
it really does have an impact on the way people see the world around them.
>> Yeah guys there's no question about that, people get their information from
somewhere doesn't magically pop into their head, they get it from some form of media.
And so when they watch right wing media, not only are they exposed
to insanity posed as perfectly same things and sensible,
right, but they're also she shielded from the actual effects.
So very very few Republicans in this country have heard that Trump and
his team have lost 60 court cases and
never presented a single piece of evidence in court about the 2020 election.
So the overwhelming majority have no idea that even happened, and
if they ever heard about court cases they heard that no evidence was ever
presented in any of those cases.
They were only on the issue of standing, it's just not remotely true, but
every right winger believes that because every right wing media says that it's
a complete and utter lie that they've all said at the same time.
So that is how they do mass brainwashing and
look at this experiment, they only did this for 30 days.
It wasn't that long, and five points seven points, 11 points that that kind of
movement in just 30 days, and remember they're getting paid for it.
So they're normally Fox News viewers,
so they would be trying to disbelieve what they're seeing on CNN.
But still they wind up believing it just because they are exposed to it.
And so by the way, if you took CNN viewers and made them watch Fox News for
30 days straight, their numbers would move to media makes a giant difference.
And so Biden is right, I'm just amazed that it's taken Democrats this
long to realize, yes, the number one problem has always been Rupert Murdoch.
