Manufacturing Dissent

by Josh Stylman

“As I often do on Sunday mornings, I was drinking my coffee and scrolling through my news feed when I noticed something striking. Maybe it’s my algorithm, but the content was flooded with an unusual amount of vitriol directed at Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s nomination as HHS Secretary. The coordinated messaging was impossible to miss — talking heads across networks uniformly labeling him a ‘conspiracy theorist’ and ‘danger to public health,’ never once addressing his actual positions. The media’s concerted attacks on Kennedy reveal more than just their opinion of his nomination — they expose a deeper crisis of credibility within institutions that once commanded public trust.” (01/02/25)
