Naunihal Singh: 普里戈津的叛乱更像是一场兵变而非政变，其叙事控制至关重要，社会媒体的作用有限，最终目标并非推翻普京。兵变通常由底层士兵发起，而普里戈津的行动则不同，他利用手中掌握的军事力量来达到政治目的，但最终目标并非推翻普京。叙事控制在叛乱中至关重要，普里戈津试图营造自己能够成功的印象，而普京则试图展现自己始终掌控全局。双方都在塑造事件的理解，因为这关系到他们自身的地位。社交媒体虽然重要，但不足以取代传统媒体的作用，大规模的电视广播才能实现有效的协调和行动。 Brandi Zadrozny: 肯尼迪的总统竞选策略是利用其家族声望和对主流媒体的批判来吸引支持者，同时有意回避其反疫苗立场。肯尼迪利用其家族声望和对主流媒体的批判来吸引支持者，但他有意回避其反疫苗立场，这是一种经过计算的策略，因为他知道这一立场会让他在民主党选民中失去支持。 Anna Merlan: 媒体报道肯尼迪时应避免简单地回避其反疫苗言论，而应积极反驳其谬论，并解释其言论背后的动机和影响。媒体在报道肯尼迪时，不应该回避其反疫苗言论，而应该积极反驳其谬论，并解释其言论背后的动机和影响。肯尼迪经常使用“Gish Gallop”的修辞策略，即快速提出大量论点，使对方难以有效反驳。应对这一策略的方法是选择其中一个论点进行详细反驳，从而揭示其论证的错误前提。 Claire Wardle: 对内容审核的强烈抵制导致了另类平台的兴起，使得错误信息的传播更加难以追踪和控制，媒体在报道肯尼迪时应关注其言论的潜在危害，而非仅仅关注其言论本身。对内容审核的强烈抵制导致了另类平台的兴起，这些平台上的信息传播难以追踪和控制。肯尼迪利用这些平台来传播其观点，同时避免主流媒体的批评。媒体应该关注肯尼迪言论的潜在危害，而非仅仅关注其言论本身。 Paul Offit: 肯尼迪的反疫苗言论具有很大的影响力，已经造成了严重的危害，如果他当选总统，将会对美国的公共卫生体系造成极大的破坏。肯尼迪的反疫苗言论具有很大的影响力，已经造成了严重的危害，例如导致疫苗接种率下降和疾病爆发。如果他当选总统，将会对美国的公共卫生体系造成极大的破坏，因为他会试图削弱食品药品监督管理局、疾病控制与预防中心等机构的专业能力。

Shownotes Transcript

Almost as soon as an armed rebellion flared in Russia last week, it fizzled. On this week’s On the Media, how the brief revolt compares to military coups from history, and how it’s different. Plus, how to cover a new kind of conspiracy theory candidate, and what it might mean for the country.

1. Naunihal Singh [@naunihalpublic)], author of "Seizing Power: The Strategic Logic of Military Coups," on the brief rebellion in Russia, and how paying attention to the narratives in the aftermath of the mutiny is equally as important as the mutiny itself. Listen).

  1. Anna Merlan [@annamerlan)], author of "Republic of Lies: American Conspiracy Theorists and Their Surprising Rise to Power," on the mistake the media have made in covering RFK Jr. Listen).

3. Claire Wardle [@cward1e)], co-founder and co-director of the Information Futures Lab at the Brown School of Public Health, on the backlash to content moderation, and the impacts of these changes as candidates like RFK Jr., an anti-vaccine activist, enter the 2024 presidential race. Listen).

  1. Paul Offit [@DrPaulOffit)], a pediatrician specializing in infectious diseases, vaccines, immunology, and virology and the co-inventor of a rotavirus vaccine, on the science community's response to RFK Jr. over the years, and the dangers of elevating such conspiracies to the White House.
