Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," psychologist Dr. John Delatorre examines the intense polarization surrounding the Karen Read case and how it reflects a broader societal issue. The conversation delves into the factors that have driven people to passionately align with one side, despite Karen Read being relatively unknown before the trial. Dr. Delatorre attributes this to a larger problem of growing societal division over the past decade, fueled by misinformation, distrust, and the rise of AI-generated content. He discusses how these elements have blurred the lines between truth and fiction, making it difficult for people to discern reality. The episode highlights how individuals often retreat into ideological silos, where they are more susceptible to manipulation by those who capitalize on their emotions. The discussion also touches on the dangers of AI in shaping public perception, especially in an era where distinguishing between real and fabricated content is increasingly challenging. Dr. Delatorre emphasizes that the true danger lies not in the tools themselves but in those who wield them for nefarious purposes.
