In Episode 8 of Branchy’s Real Fake News, I dive into the growing frustration people feel toward governments, media, and institutions — and questions whether blaming individual politicians actually changes anything at all. I explore financial influence, institutional power, manufactured division, media narratives, and why real change might start with the individual instead of the system itself. A conversation about patience, self-awareness, perspective, and refusing to become consumed by outrage in a world designed to keep people distracted. Question everything.
