Wierd Duk & Ab Gietelink over de strijd om de waarheid: "Mainstream media zijn poortwachters" #2219

Truth, lies, and clashing worldviews: How objective is our information provision? In this episode of De Nieuwe Wereld (The New World), Jelle van Baardewijk has a sharp conversation with Wierd Duk, Ab Gietelink, and Wouter de Heij. The discussion is based on the evening's overarching theme: "Truth and Lies." Why do mainstream media and alternative channels seem to be drifting further and further apart? Is there deliberate manipulation, or are we trapped in our own 'paradigms'? ------------------------------------------ Support DNW Make the voice of De Nieuwe Wereld possible.
