The Manipulators

Facebook, Google, Twitter, and Big Tech's War on Conservatives

By: Peter Hasson

Narrated by: Andrew Eiden

For better or for worse, Google and social media - “Big Tech”, collectively - have become the new public square. Unfortunately, this public square has a watchful referee standing behind them, ready and waiting to blow the whistle if they veer too far from the preferred narrative. Americans have given these companies enormous power to select the information they read, share and discuss with their neighbors and friends. We’ve gotten so used to it, we forget to notice that Big Tech is sifting through the available information and narrowing - and prioritizing - our choices. What happens when that power is weaponized for political ends? Although Big Tech positioned itself initially as providing politically neutral platforms, the truth is that this is no longer the case - far from it.

Daily Caller reporter Peter Hasson reveals in The Manipulators that Big Tech is using its huge financial and technological power to severely restrict access to conservative voices and ideas and to rig public debate in favor of America’s political left wing. This happens in two ways: 1) By censoring and suppressing right-of-center voices and ideas, which restricts access to information that counters the progressive narrative 2) By purposefully amplifying left-wing voices and ideas, which creates the false impression that public consensus lines up with progressive orthodoxy.

A verdade nua e crua por trás dos "progressistas"

A verdade por trás da nova busca de poder da esquerda. Como a esquerda joga sujo para incutir ideias danosas na cabeça das pessoas, a fim de destruir os tecidos da sociedade. Desconstruir e dividir para dominar... o jogo sujo das Big Techs e dos donos do poder.

Eye opening

Some very interesting reports on the state of our newly founded social media culture. Censorship and cancel culture are the tools being used by monopolistic corporations.

The Manipulatora

Well you just can't trust anyone and especially big tech media. Remember the show "Who Do You Trust?". They should bring it back with politicians.

Worth the time and attention

Whether you are liberal or conservative, this is worth a listen to understand influences on you as a consumer of information today. Maybe you don’t care for the conservative position, or maybe you do - But at least be aware of how your position is being shaped.

Good Content....Run 1.2x Speed or You'll Go Crazy

I'm about half-way through this book on Audible. Although very basic, this is a good overview of the power of Google, Facebook & Twitter. Run the audio at 1.2x Speed or you'll grow a little impatient with the slow delivery of the narrator.

Narrator suggestion: Turn down the compression. Audio is way too breathy. Your settings are great for a 30 second spot on radio....but too 'hot' for a six-hour production.

eye opening

Everyone still using social media should read/listen to this. it's eye opening. I plan to listen to it again.
