Episode 89: You Can’t Trust the News — Here’s What’s Really Happening
In this episode of the Versa Business Tips Podcast, host Shaheen Mazloom, Founder & CEO of Versa Business Systems, sits down with Kira Shishkin, Founder & CEO of Informed.Now, to unpack why modern news feels biased, manipulative, and overwhelming—and what’s actually happening behind the scenes.
Kira explains how advertising, sponsors, and platform incentives distort the information we consume, why clickbait has replaced clarity, and how most news outlets no longer serve the reader as their customer. The conversation dives deep into how Informed.Now delivers fact-based, ad-free news by sourcing information directly from primary institutions like the Supreme Court, Federal Reserve, Department of Labor, and global central banks.
Instead of constant breaking-news alerts, Informed.Now sends one concise text per day covering only world-changing news, designed for busy professionals who want clarity without noise.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
• Why trust in the news industry has collapsed
• How ads and incentives shape media narratives
• The difference between opinion-based reporting and primary sources
• Why breaking news creates anxiety instead of understanding
• How echo chambers are formed—and how to avoid them
• What “world-changing news” really means
• Why simplicity and restraint matter in modern media
