The press is embattled & increasingly owned by corporations who seek power, ratings, & money instead of the truth. How can the fourth estate resist a second Trump administration & not bend the knee?
Thank you, Waj. Love both you and Brian! Mary Trump Media is great and follow you on the nerds. Will follow what happens in the briefing room. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Substack and podcasts are already supplanting the MSM because people are now living on their phones and laptops. I know many young adults who don't own TVs or read newspapers because their phones allow them to travel light, so we should be strategizing on how to make internet media more intense and appealing and more intensely truthful. Older media is on life support.
Frontline on Public TV has always been good though sometimes late to the game, but the GOP wants to cancel government funding because they think Frontline is an arm of the DNC. I fear the news is going to become very fragmented so that any shared reality becomes kaliedoscopic. Even AI won't be able to integrate it.
Waj are you okay? The left side of your face is showing signs of bells palsy. I am worried about your health, I am one of your favorite subscribers please stay healthy!!!
oh thank you for the reply, I've been worried...that has to be a strange thing to go through...glad that is the diagnosis and not something worse. Rest up!
Maybe Waj or Brian should look into the funding structure for the Philadelphia Inquirer. That paper covered the election truthfully. The background is interesting too (involving a tragic plane crash that left a wealthy philanthropist in charge of a paper he did not want to run).
Tommy Robinson is and ignorant, criminal fraudster who lies and spread hate and Zionist fake propaganda because he's controlled and paid by Zionist lobby. He was paid to travel to Israel and take some pictures with IDF diaper child killers to spread Israel propaganda. Tommy should rote in jail forever!
I've been increasingly relying on the fact-based independent news media. I have almost zero faith in corporate news. I hope MSNBC keeps their best people and allows them to tell it as they see it, but we'll see.

My worry is crucial investigative reporting. Pro-publica can’t do it alone so I still subscribe to the NYT and the Post as well as supporting them.
YES
Yup
Sound advice

Love your Chai Talk conversations, Waj! You have chosen excellent topics and the convos have always been super informative and interesting!
It will take a generation, at minimum, to rebuild from the oncoming catastrophic societal, economic, and governmental collapse.
