Big Soda Buys Some Influencers - LIVE Deprogrammed with Keri Smith

This past week, several influencer accounts with large followings in the "conservative" X media space made posts meant to persuade us that food stamps (SNAP) should be able to be used for Soda purchases. Why argue that taxpayer money should go to fund unhealthy, non-nutritious items? Why soda specifically? Turns out their talking points were crafted and paid for by Influenceable, who is paid by corporate lobbyists (in this case, by Big Soda).

So for the cheap price of a few hundred to $1K per pop (pun not intended) they can get "MAGA" influencers to attack MAHA and tell their audiences to support taxpayer money for Diet Cokes and Ho Hos. It's pretty incredible.

Join us for a LIVE #Deprogrammed on Monday, March 24th at 2pm CST as we talk about the rise of "influencer" media and the death or corporate media. What pitfalls do we need to avoid? How do you prevent yourself from becoming manipulated by influencer media in the same way so many have been manipulated by corporate media?
