It is good to see somebody pushing back on this shit. I cannot und err rstand why it took this long, nor why so few are. We need more of this person. Legions more.

Ben Smith, former media columnist at the New York Times and now the editor-in-chief of Semafor, joins Dan to talk about today’s ultra-challenging news media landscape. The industry is significantly weaker than it was in 2016, and Trump’s aggressive lawsuits have the executives in charge of CBS and ABC scrambling to appease him. Will the death blow for America’s free press come from within? Smith runs through what we should have learned from the first Trump presidency, how cults of personality rule in journalism just like they rule in politics, and why the dominance of the Times is terrible for fascism-proofing the country.

Is it time for a Radio Free Europe type of outside news organisation that is spreading the real news to those locked in the bubble?
Unfortunately, the Radio Free America name seems to have been taken already by a right-wing talk show (because of course it has)

This is the same Hitler who rejected Einstein’s science because Jewish and banned Haeckel’s work because racist but not enough. So sure, allowing science if it was the ideologically right kind. Which is exactly what Trump is doing – just now the right kind of research is that done by private companies working on grifts like AI.
