Double digits! On episode 10, we're diving into the Olympic scandal that overtook media coverage this week, and how its a great example of why you shouldn't instantly buy into everything you hear. So much of the media is trying to gaslight and manipulate you into choosing a SIDE because... that's how they get more clicks. It's a scam that all too often ends up with innocent people getting raked over the coals for no good reason!

In lighter news, Denisse learns the definition of "auspices" and a look at the 1908 London Olympics and how different they were compared with today's Olympic games.
