Inner Revolutionary Radio

This week, InsideOut is taking on the corruption of social media. We’ll share examples related to Freddie Gray and the Baltimore police protests, as reported by the Washington Post. But we could be looking at any of the other fabrications frequently going viral the internet. Why is this important? Because social media is our responsibility. It’s democracy’s answer to the monopolization of news, but when it’s abused, it subverts our efforts to create a better world. This week on InsideOut we’ll talk about how the misuse of social media corrupts the Inner Revolution and we’ll examine the part we play. Are we feeding negativity, gossip or feel-good fluff? Do we reserve judgment until we get facts? Do we spread unexamined statements serving only to feed our cherished opinions? Tune in, call in and talk about your relationship to social media. Let’s acknowledge the power of the tweet and start holding ourselves accountable for not debasing this great tool that has come into our hands.
