The result of this practice, tied to conservative marketing tactics, is a radicalisation of content and a changing of narratives adopted by the media.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461613207788,"sku":"9780300248944","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780300248944-the-propagandists-playbook.jpg?v=1774973348"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/francesca-bolla-tripodi.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
