Great narration and well researched

The author does a great job of breaking down the role of propaganda and fake news in the media, past and present. I enjoyed the section about the relatively small number of companies responsible for most of the media we absorb, but I don't recall if Sinclair Broadcasting was mentioned. The narrator's tone and cadence do an excellent job of holding the listener's attention and make for an enjoyable listening experience.
