2024 Election Post-Mort

Network Propaganda is a book analyzing the spread of misinformation and propaganda in the American media ecosystem during the 2016 election. This audio track was created from a PDF of the book ingested to NotebookLM. It's got a few foibles here and there but overall, it's a pretty decent AI podcast rendition of commentary about the book.

The authors identify a highly asymmetric media landscape, with a right-wing network significantly more susceptible to disinformation than the left-leaning network. They explore specific cases, like Pizzagate and the Uranium One conspiracy, demonstrating how propaganda feedback loops amplify false narratives. The book concludes by examining the structural and institutional factors contributing to this asymmetry and suggesting potential solutions involving both media reform and platform regulation. Ultimately, the authors argue that technological solutions alone are insufficient to address the underlying political and cultural issues.
