About this listen

In An Ecosystem of Alternative Facts, best-selling author Billy J Riggs delves into the complex dynamics of modern media, politics, and psychology to reveal how society has entered an era where truth is often distorted, obscured, or dismissed. This book examines how “alternative facts” are not just isolated instances of deception but have become a systematic approach employed by powerful entities to shape public opinion, silence dissent, and control narratives. With examples drawn from recent political scandals, state-controlled media practices, and corporate interests, Riggs exposes how these forces intersect to create an information ecosystem where misinformation flourishes.

Riggs offers a deep exploration of media manipulation techniques such as gaslighting, selective reporting, and agenda-driven algorithms, analyzing how they undermine democracy, breed cynicism, and foster division. He highlights the role of authoritarian regimes in utilizing state-controlled media to control public perception and investigates how corporate-owned media outlets may blur the line between journalism and business interests to support their political allies. Riggs also underscores the importance of independent journalism and decentralized media in offering counter-narratives, spotlighting stories that challenge official narratives, and holding power to account.

Not just a critique, An Ecosystem of Alternative Facts also empowers readers with practical tools for navigating this landscape. Riggs discusses ways to critically evaluate news sources, spot manipulative tactics, and become more media literate. This book is essential reading for anyone looking to understand—and resist—the manipulation of truth in today’s media environment, offering a pathway toward reclaiming a more transparent and accountable public discourse.
