Not all research is equally credible.

In this episode, Michael breaks down Data & Society's 2018 report on YouTube's "Alternative Influence Network". From methodological and validity concerns to inconsistent framing, this report is shown to be an extensive editorial of sorts - something distinct from its initial reception as rock-solid research. Built on careful tautological foundations, the report's findings, reception, and influence are examined. In closing, context about the author's ideology and advocacy are provided. The result: a podcast episode delivering on FITO's promise to analyze the research and reasoning that, for better or worse, drive public policy and discourse.
