"The Mark and Mike Show" Podcast #3 - 2-12-16

Co-hosts Mark Grimaldi and Mike Klanac are joined by POLCO Co-Founder Nick Mastronardi to discuss Politics on Social Media.

Subtopics covered are:
-The Good and Bad of Social Media’s effect on politics
-The lack of anonymity people in their 20s have when talking politics on social media compared to generations before them; and whether that is a positive or negative force
-Quasi-Anonymity online, and how that may be the best way for people to share ideas with some degree of credibility, but without fear of personal attacks
-How posting on different social media platforms affects the conversation
-How America's news changing from a public service to a profit driven business has injected opinions where facts should be, and how that has made it difficult for people to find credible information sources online to share
