Media Literacy, Misinformation, and the Future of News | With Teacher Abraham Lyerly
The information crisis is here. CBS censored Colbert. Gen Z gets news from TikTok. Medical disinformation from RFK Jr. spreads faster than CDC facts.
This week I sat down with my producer and oldest son, Abraham Lyerly – a public school teacher – for a generational conversation about media literacy, trusted messengers, and navigating truth in 2026.
In This Episode:
We break down the legacy media collapse – why CBS, the Washington Post, and traditional journalism are losing credibility through political self-censorship. Abraham shares what his Gen Z peers and Gen Alpha students actually believe and where they’re getting it (spoiler: not the evening news).
We go platform by platform through the social media landscape: TikTok’s algorithm-driven truth problem, Instagram’s authenticity shift, the Twitter/X exodus to Bluesky and Threads, Facebook’s generational divide, YouTube’s long-form comeback, and how Substack newsletters are replacing traditional journalism.
As an OB-GYN fighting medical disinformation daily, I explain how vaccine lies and reproductive health myths spread faster than evidence-based medicine can counter them – and what that means for public health in 2026.
Plus: exciting announcements about our upcoming documentary, partnerships with organizations like Christy Turlington Burns’ “Every Mother Counts”, and what’s on the horizon as Wisconsin’s election season heats up.
The information war isn’t over – it’s just moving to where the real fight is.
