Is renewable energy actually responsible for high electricity prices?</p><p>We also dive into how charts and real data can be manipulated to fit a chosen narrative, and reveal the lie that the new federal opposition, the LNP with Angus Taylor and Jane Hume, have been spreading about immigration numbers under the Labor party.</p><p>Importantly we don’t just tell you about it, we show you the process of how we get behind the misinformation and pull apart the deception.</p><p>Instead of repeating headlines, we break down the claims and follow the evidence.</p><p><strong>Follow the Podcast</strong></p><p>If you’re interested in learning how to break down media narratives and uncover the truth behind viral claims, subscribe to my social media channels.</p><p>New uploads will investigate trending claims from politics, media, and the internet.</p><p>Instagram: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/a.jaegermeister/">https://www.instagram.com/a.jaegermeister/ </a></p><p>TikTok: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@ajaegermeister">https://www.tiktok.com/@ajaegermeister </a></p><p>YouTube: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/@ajaegermeister">https://www.youtube.com/@ajaegermeister</a></p>]]></description>
