Matt Taibbi, Hate Inc. and Media Demographic Silos
Journalist Matt Taibbi discusses his book "Hate Inc." on Russia Today with Chris Hedges. The book explores how the modern media landscape is built around "demographic silos" that profit from manufacturing conflict and hatred between groups. Taibbi argues that this system creates political impotence and reinforces prejudices through digital analysis of consumer habits.
