Trump’s-Sinister-Open-Up-Campaign-Bob Davis Podcast 922

Sinister Effort

First of all this is not another partisan podcast about President Trump. It’s about a sinister effort to manipulate. Learn more in Trump’s-Sinister-Open-Up-Campaign-Bob Davis Podcast 922.

Not Going To Tell You What To Think

Seems like everyone these days is telling us whether we should open up again. I am not going to do that.

Where Do Those Memes, Articles and Videos Come From?

Above all what’s especially relevant here are the kinds of information populating social media. Furthermore what’s the source of the information?

Even more I run down some of the sources of ‘news’ being shared.

Suddenly Sinister

Certainly information in support of opening up the country suddenly seems sinister. Learn more in Trump’s-Sinister-Open-Up-Campaign-Bob Davis Podcast 922.

Helpful or Campaign Propaganda?

The most noteworthy question is whether videos and stories on social media are helpful? Or are they cornerstones for the president’s re-election?

Partisan Silos Across The Nation

Above all reactions to the pandemic itself have become partisan.

Patterns and Examples

I’ll take you through two or three examples of seeding social media with partisan political videos and ‘news’.

Manipulated Right and Left

Finally it doesn’t matter where we come down on political issues.

We Need To Know How It’s Being Done

It’s even more important to point out when and how we’re being manipulated.

Don’t believe Everything You See

In conclusion maybe we shouldn’t believe or share anything we see on social media.

How To Research

Consequently maybe we can learn to research where this kind of ‘news’ comes from before we share it.

(Editor’s note: One of the assertions in this podcast cites controversial reports the president does not read his daily intelligence briefings. Some say the story is false. So far the president has not specifically denied the story and said in 2016 he didn’t want daily intelligence briefings. Moreover the assertion has not been debunked as some have reported.)

Podcasting In A World Of Propaganda

I stay up all night. Especially these days. Time for a walk and talk podcast about podcasting. Learn more in Podcasting-In-Propaganda-Maelstrom-Bob Davis Podcast 921.

Podcasting

First of all I don’t often talk about podcasting. Above all this medium has taken me from one place to another in life.

Propaganda

Especially relevant? I don’t think I have ever seen amount of propaganda we’re exposed to now.

Anxiety and Negative Thoughts

In addition new research shows people in the United States are experiencing high levels of anxiety and negative thoughts.

Trauma

To hear a my podcast about the effects of trauma click here.

Uncertainty Rules

Also I think our biggest problem is the not knowing outcomes.

Walking and Talking Is Good

Consequently it’s always good to do a walk and talk.

Content Creators Struggling

My thoughts as a content creator are especially relevant.

Wading Through Crap

Even more how do content creators thread our way through unprecedented levels of propaganda.

Won’t Tell You What To Think

Furthermore I refuse to tell subscribers and listeners what to think.

Doing Our Homework To Avoid Mass Manipulation

I’ve explained how we can do our own homework. In addition I’ve shown how social media can be used for mass manipulation.

Won’t Follow The Audience’s Lead

Certainly I could tell audiences what they want to hear. Everyone else does, right?

Deeper Into The Darkness

To detail every little rift and latest conspiracy or story making headlines only takes us deeper into the darkness

Leading Rather Than Following

In Podcasting-In-Propaganda-Maelstrom-Bob Davis Podcast 921 I give you two unexpected examples of people who refused to follow their audiences and how they became leaders.

How Do We Get Out Of This Mess?

Finally it seems to me what we need is a way to start thinking how we’re going to get out of this mess we’re in.

Fussin’ and Fighting Won’t Cut It

Fighting about the latest outrage only takes us deeper into the darkness.

Change-Gonna-Come-Bob Davis Podcast 920

Change Gonna Come

First of all we all want this to be over. Real Talk? Not likely to be over anytime soon. Changes are coming and only the strong will survive. Learn why I say this in Change-Gonna-Come-Bob Davis Podcast 920.

A National Trauma

What’s especially relevant is we’re experiencing a collective national trauma.

Moreover being in a traumatic state of mind does not lead to good decisions.

What Helps…What Doesn’t

Arguing over things we can’t prove. Acting out of emotion. Believing in personalities. Grasping at straws. None of these actions in our present state of mind will result in good things happening.

How To Address Trauma and Change

Certainly in this podcast I describe the signs of trauma. In addition I will share action steps we can all take to reduce the impact of the three types of trauma many of us exposed to, at the very least.

1930’s America

While dealing with trauma is important I also want to share some stories of pain and difficulty in my life. Furthermore a look back at the US before the 1930’s.

Great Depression Hardships

It’s probably fair to say that as a country we haven’t experienced anything close to the hardships of the great depression in the so called modern age. Until now.

It’s almost a foregone conclusion that we are about to have that experience.

Consequently it helps me to watch newly remastered film and audio from back in the day to see what life looked like in color. Even more taking a second look at life challenges also helps. We’ll do that too in Change-Gonna-Come-Bob Davis Podcast 920.

This kind of crisis is tough on all of us.

Normal Takes On A New Meaning

Also I have the distinct impression when it’s over, normal will take on a whole new meaning.

Iowa Barnstorming and Texas Beaches Seem Like Another Time Now

Finally it’s hard to believe less than 16 weeks ago I was barnstorming Iowa and heading to Texas on the back roads. That seems like years ago now.

Change Is Going To Come, and like my mom always said, Only The Strong Survive.
