Interesting and entertaining

I’m surprised, nevertheless, that the episode on the media apocalypse (March 15, I think) didn’t touch upon two fundamental points about why the media is struggling for oxygen: the censorship industrial complex and the amount of propaganda we’ve been inundated with for the last decade (which ramped up during the covid farce). The media stopped providing different sides to a story a while ago and now almost every article and news segment feels driven by agendas.
Yeah, social media certainly is a disruptive force and not necessarily for the better but, consider how popular X is even for those that are there hating on it... could it be because people want to be able to discern for themselves what is true and discuss it openly?
Consider also how a number of journalists/reporters (who lost their media jobs for not “going with the flow” of nonstop lies and propagandizing) have found a great space on X and on Substack. Well, that’s my opinion; maybe you and your guest would have had another POV and other arguments, but it seems like a purposeful omission to not have even mentioned these two critical points affecting media today.
