In this episode we discussed the biggest reason why people flock to alternate news sources on social media despite the prevalence of fake news on the platform. 

We talked about media framing and how the simplest of wordplay can change the way people view specific news. We took a look at some examples such as the reporting on the death of Keith Absalon, Leni Robredo's 4000 vehicle caravan, Bongbong Marcos being always referred to as the late dictator's son, and memes that are now being fact checked.

We also talked about how this can be considered as revisionism as the two sides push for their own red and pink narratives to see who will get the most support from the Filipino people.
