Muzzle Velocity: The Power Of Headlines

Why do world-shaking events vanish from our feeds in a week? In this episode, we dive into “muzzle velocity” — the media’s trick of flooding us with so much, so fast, that nothing sticks. From news-as-theatre to endless hot takes, we’re caught in a cycle where outrage fades before it even lands. This isn’t politics, it’s about how modern media overwhelms us, shapes what we care about, and leaves us too tired to fight back. Let’s talk news vs. noise, emotional manipulation, and how to reclaim focus in the chaos.
