Cylinder Radio: Unbiased and Balanced News with Henry Brechter from All SidesIn this episode of Cylinder Radio, I talk to Henry Brechter, the editor in-chief of All Sides, an incredible news organization aiming to shine light on media bias. I wanted to have Henry on because I believe their work is incredibly important and a lot of people would side with it if they knew about it. During the episode we talk about the approach that All Sides takes to try to counter media bias, the overall media landscape and how biased journalism & reporting (even though bias is natural) impacts all of us in one way or another. We also discuss how ownership can influence media coverage, how capitalism influences the making of news and the future of legacy media. — FIND OUT MORE ABOUT ALL SIDES — All Sides: Instagram: Twitter: Facebook: — DOWNLOAD MY FREE TRAINING ‘DEBATE TO DIALOGUE’ — — LISTEN TO CYLINDER RADIO — Website: Apple Podcasts: YouTube: — SUPPORT MY WORK — Patreon: Instagram: My Website:
