#412 Ashley Rindsberg - Who Controls What You Know

Zuby is joined by investigative journalist and founder of Neutral Point of View, Ashley Rindsberg. Ashley shares how his research into The New York Times led him deep into the world of narrative manipulation, platform bias, and information warfare. He exposes how Wikipedia was quietly reshaped by Clinton-aligned operatives and Soros-linked funding following the 2016 election, and how that bias now flows directly into AI systems like ChatGPT and Gemini. They also discuss the scale of online influence campaigns, how to protect your mind from propaganda, and why less consumption is almost always the right answer.
