Mathias ist Vorstandsvorsitzender von Axel Springer, Medienmanager, Autor und Journalist. Und vor allem ist er laut ChatGPT auf Platz 2 der mächtigsten Medienmänner weltweit. Ich wollte von ihm wissen, wie seine Biografie ihn geprägt hat, welche Werte er mit Freiheit verbindet und wie sich das eigene Verhältnis zu Geld verändert, wenn man Milliardär ist. Außerdem habe ich mich gefragt, was seine heutige Sicht auf den Fall Julian Reichelt ist. Wir sprechen über Macht, Vertrauen, Zweckpessimismus, es geht um Widerstand, Mut, Risiko, Diskussionskultur und familiäre Werte.

Immer weniger Geld, weniger Personal und immer weniger Zuschauende? Die Medien stecken in einer Krise - wenn man zumindest den Medienschaffenden glaubt, die dieses Mantra seit Jahren predigen. Doch stimmt es wirklich, dass die deutschen Medien in einer Downphase stecken oder ist die angebliche Krise eher die schmerzhafte Nebenerscheinung einer verschlafenden digitalen Transformation?In dieser neuen Podcast-Folge "In kleiner Runde Medieninsider" gehen Julia Krüger und Maurice Gajda dieser Frage auf den Grund und finden heraus, dass es nicht weniger, sondern mehr Geld im Medientopf gibt. Doch warum dann Krise? Die Antwort auf diese Frage hörst du in dieser Sendung.Auch große Verlage stecken in der Krise, während sich Spiegel und Axel Springer mit ihren Pay-Modellen beweisen, sorgt der traditionsreiche Verlag "Grunner + Jahr" in letzter Zeit immer wieder für negative Schlagzeilen. Warum "G+J" zum Scheitern verurteilt ist und was jetzt mit Gala, Stern und Brigitte passiert?Ausserdem haben die beiden Moderator:innen unter anderem mit Daniela Braun vom Verband deutscher Lokalzeitungen und Lokalmedien (VdL) gesprochen um nicht nur die Krise im TV zu analysieren, sondern um auch zu verstehen, warum auch die Tageszeitungen immer weniger Abonnent:innen haben und wie die Verlage darauf reagieren und welche kreativen Ideen dabei entstehen.Folge "In kleiner Runde - Medieninsider" auch bei Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/inkleinerrunde/Der Podcast "In kleiner Runde - Medieninsider" ist eine Produktion von Talk?

Ob personalisierte Rabatte, dynamische Preisgestaltung oder algorithmisch optimierte Abo-Modelle – künstliche Intelligenz verändert die Art, wie Preise entstehen. Doch wer kontrolliert die Algorithmen? Und was passiert, wenn KI nicht nur optimiert, sondern Marktmechanismen verzerrt? In dieser Folge spricht Dr. Sebastian Voigt mit Mina Saidze, Expertin für KI-Governance und Gründerin von Inclusive Tech, über die Chancen und Risiken von Algorithmus getriebenem Pricing. Wie sehr beeinflussen datengetriebene Modelle unsere Kaufentscheidungen? Wo endet Effizienz – und wo beginnt Manipulation? Und wie können Unternehmen sicherstellen, dass KI nicht nur profitabel, sondern auch fair bleibt? Mina betont: „Algorithmen sind nie neutral – sie verstärken das, was wir ihnen beibringen. Wenn wir nicht bewusst gegensteuern, entstehen Verzerrungen, die Märkte und Kund:innen benachteiligen.“Doch wie lässt sich künstliche Intelligenz regulieren, ohne Innovation auszubremsen? In der Folge lernt Ihr, warum KI der Gamechanger für Pricing ist, inwiefern Regulierungen dies beeinflussen und warum Vertrauen in algorithmische Entscheidungen essenziell ist. Über den Gast: Mina Saidze ist Gründerin von Inclusive Tech, Europas erster Initiative für KI-Ethik und Diversität in der Tech-Branche. Sie verantwortet die ESG Strategy & Data bei Axel Springer und setzt sich für den verantwortungsvollen Einsatz von KI in Unternehmen ein. Als Forbes 30 Under 30 und Capital Top 40 under 40 wurde sie für ihre Arbeit im Bereich KI-Governance und Regulierung ausgezeichnet. Ihr Buch „FairTech: Digitalisierung für eine gerechte Gesellschaft neu denken“ zählt zu den wichtigsten Publikationen im Bereich Tech-Ethik. Als gefragte Speakerin und Beraterin arbeitet sie mit Unternehmen, politischen Institutionen und Medien zusammen, um das Bewusstsein für algorithmische Fairness und nachhaltige Technologie zu schärfen.

Ralph welcomes retired diplomat Ambassador Chas Freeman to discuss the United States' disregard for international law, the incoming Trump administration's approach to foreign policy, and the decline of the American Empire (among other topics).Ambassador Chas Freeman is a retired career diplomat who has negotiated on behalf of the United States with over 100 foreign governments in East and South Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and both Western and Eastern Europe. Ambassador Freeman was previously a Senior Fellow at Brown University's Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, and served as U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense, U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia, acting Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, and Deputy Chief of Mission and Chargé d'Affaires in the American embassies at both Bangkok and Beijing. He was Director for Chinese Affairs at the U.S. Department of State from 1979-1981. He was the principal American interpreter during the late President Nixon's historic visit to China in 1972. In addition to Chinese, Ambassador Freeman speaks French and Spanish at the professional level and can converse in Arabic and several other languages.He concluded his thirty years in public service as Assistant Secretary of Defense, responsible for managing defense relations with all regions of the world except the countries of the former Soviet Union. Ambassador Freeman is the author of several well-received books on statecraft and diplomacy, including The Diplomat's Dictionary, America's Misadventures in the Middle East, and America's Continuing Misadventures in the Middle East.I think it's fair to say that our country led the drive for international law, a world order that was based on rules established by consensus and legitimized at the United Nations. But we have also led the drive away from the rule of law, both internationally and domestically. And I think the connection is contempt for procedural justice or due process.Chas FreemanThat whole area of international law—which was a stabilizing force in the world—has gone [when Trump removed us from the Intermediate Nuclear Forces Agreement in Europe.] And the UN Charter is disrespected—not just the US Constitution is—in its fundamentals. We invade the sovereignty of other countries with no serious regard for the legal prohibitions against that. And in fact, those legal prohibitions—which once were something that smaller countries could rely upon when they confronted the great powers—are no longer effective. Therefore, we see at the local level, the regional level, a proliferation of weapons designed to counter and defend against attack by greater powers. So the whole world is in effect arming itself. This is very good for arms manufacturers, but it's very bad for the prospects for our species.Chas FreemanThere are no realistic threats against the United States—except those that we are provoking. Our view seems to be that the best way to deal with the hornet's nest—I'm speaking of West Asia, the Middle East here—is to go and poke the hornets in their nest.Chas FreemanThe real risk now…is Israel has so much power in the US that it could create incidents which would flip the United States into a blazing barrage of empire expansion— and suppression in the United States domestically. And they have an incoming president who is ripe for that kind of manipulation to begin with.Ralph NaderIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantisNews 12/11/241. On December 4th, UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was assassinated in broad daylight in Midtown Manhattan. Clues indicated that the killing was political; most notably, the words “delay,” “deny” and “depose” were each written on one of the three bullets fired at the scene. As AP notes, “The messages mirror the phrase ‘delay, deny, defend,' which is commonly used by lawyers and critics about insurers that delay payments, deny claims and defend their actions.” Following nearly two full days of nescience, authorities turned up a suspect – Luigi Mangione, the Ivy League-educated scion of an established Baltimore family who had shown signs of increasingly erratic behavior in recent months, perhaps related to ever-worsening back pain. When Mangione was apprehended in an Altoona, Pennsylvania McDonald's, he was found with “a three-page handwritten document that indicated ‘motivation and mindset,'” the BBC reports, however authorities have not released this manifesto. Perhaps unsurprisingly, ABC 7 New York reports that Mangione's actions have unleashed a torrent of “‘volcanic' anger,” toward health insurance agencies, which many regard as capricious and cruel. It remains to be seen how this public sentiment will factor into what is sure to be a highly-publicized criminal trial.2. The reverberations of Mangione's actions are already being felt. Back in November, the American Society of Anesthesiologists issued a statement decrying Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield's unilateral declaration that it would refuse to “pay for anesthesia care if [a] surgery or procedure goes beyond an arbitrary time limit, regardless of how long the surgical procedure takes.” The ASA called on Anthem to reverse that proposal, but their pleas were ignored. That is until December 5th – just one day after the UnitedHealthcare shooting – when the company abruptly reversed themselves and even scrubbed the announcement of the policy from their website. Of course, Anthem insists that the outcry was based on “misinformation” and denies any correlation between the assassination and their decision, per NBC, but the timing frankly makes that difficult to believe.3. Another New York City killing also made the news last week: the trial of Daniel Penny, a former U.S. Marine on trial for strangling Jordan Neely to death in a New York subway car. Neely was an African-American street artist who had been experiencing homelessness. CNN reports Penny was found not guilty of criminally negligent homicide, already a lesser charge than the original second-degree manslaughter allegation, which Judge Maxwell Wiley dismissed Friday after jurors “twice told the court they could not come to a verdict on the count.” Neely's father, Andre Zachary, is quoted saying “I miss my son. My son didn't have to go through this. I didn't have to go through this either…What's going to happen to us now? I've had enough of this. The system is rigged.”4. Turning to the Middle East, the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria has fallen. Assad, with help from Russia, has clung to power since the country descended into civil war in 2011, beating back all manner of rival forces ranging from U.S.-backed rebels to left-wing Kurdish militias to ISIS. The faction that finally did wrest power from Assad is called Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham or HTS, which splintered from Al-Qaeda but is now engaging in a so-called “charm offensive” per France24, and promoting itself as a tolerant faction that will not subjugate women or oppress ethnic and religious minorities such as Syrian Christians, Druze, and Kurds. In a statement, the group told the Kurds of Aleppo “You have the right to live freely … Diversity is a strength of which we are proud…We denounce the actions of the Islamic State group against the Kurds, including the enslavement of women … We are with the Kurds to build the Syria of tomorrow.” ABC reports the U.S. will “recognize and support a new Syrian government that renounces terrorism, destroys chemical weapons stocks and protects the rights of minorities and women.” So far HTS seems to fit the bill. And if this all wasn't enough, the Syrian situation is further complicated by Israel using this moment to expand its foothold in the country. CNN reports Israel has “launched airstrikes at military targets across Syria and deployed ground troops both into and beyond a demilitarized buffer zone for the first time in 50 years,” setting the stage for a possible new front in Netanyahu's ongoing regional war.5. In Palestine, the Intercept reports five Palestinians in the West Bank, along with the councils of the three villages they hail from have filed “a formal regulatory complaint in Germany accusing the media giant Axel Springer of contributing to human rights abuses in Palestine.” Specifically, the complaint concerns Yad2, a classified ads platform and subsidiary of Axel Springer that has been compared to Craigslist, which the plaintiffs allege enables illegal settlements. According to the complaint filed by Jerusalem Legal Aid and Human Rights Centre, Yad2's facilitation of settler activity violates Germany's Supply Chain Due Diligence Act, which “requires German companies to identify and mitigate human rights risks within their global supply chains, including in subsidiaries which they control.”6. In more Israel/Palestine news, the student body at Yale has “overwhelmingly,” passed three pro-Palestine referenda, including two demanding that the university “disclose and divest from its holdings in military weapons manufacturers, ‘including those arming Israel,'” per Yale Daily News. These measures passed with around 80% of the vote. Han Pimental-Hayes, an organizer with the pro-Palestine Sumud Coalition, is quoted saying “University leaders have long tried to paint pro-Palestine and pro-divestment students as a fringe minority. The results of this referendum demonstrate that in reality, the movement for a free Palestine and a more ethical endowment is overwhelmingly popular.” Yale Friends of Israel however expressed that they are “certain” Yale will not change its investment policy regarding Israel's weapons of war.7. Looking to Africa, Semafor reports that the incoming Trump White House appears set to recognize the breakaway state of Somaliland, spurred on by right-wing elements who wish to use the unrecognized country as a base for anti-China intelligence operations. This piece highlights that this move would rattle the governments of East Africa and draw the ire of the African Union, but Trump's China hawks see it as a critical element of countering Chinese influence in the region and particularly in Djibouti where the People's Liberation Army has set up one of its handful of foreign military bases. Even if Trump does not recognize Somaliland however, and instead hews to the traditional American “One Somalia” policy, Republicans are calling for Trump to take an approach akin to Taiwan – treating it as independent without formal recognition.8. Turning to domestic politics, POLITICO reports Democrats are staging a “mutiny” against the old guard who have monopolized power in the House. This report focuses on Rep. Jerry Nadler, 77, who will vacate his position as the top Democrat on Judiciary to clear the way for Jamie Raskin, Rep. Raul Grijalva, 76, who announced he would step down as the top Dem on the Natural Resources Committee, and David Scott of Georgia, 79, who is looking down the barrel at multiple challenges for his spot on the Agriculture Committee. Since this piece was published, another major challenge has emerged – NBC reports AOC is gunning for the top Democratic spot on the Oversight Committee. The POLITICO piece emphasizes Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' approach of letting the challenges “speak for themselves,” as an indication that he will not fight this wave of challenges.9. Washington Post labor reporter Lauren Kaori Gurley reports the Teamsters are demanding Amazon agree to bargaining dates by December 15. In a statement, Teamsters President Sean O'Brien writes “The Teamsters are done asking nicely for Amazon to stop breaking the law. Amazon must commit to come to the table and bargain a Teamsters contract with its workers — or face the consequences of its inaction.” This gambit by the Teamsters comes just as the winter holiday gift deliveries are getting into full swing, maximizing the union's leverage. Moreover, the Teamster's Faustian bargain with the Trump administration may yield results for them, as the normally business friendly Republicans may be inclined to put the screws to Amazon on behalf of this particular union. Whatever the circumstances, the Amazon Teamsters deserve a contract and it is heartening that O'Brien is fighting for his members.10. In decidedly worse Trump news, the president-elect has announced former Missouri Republican Congressman Billy Long as his pick to lead the IRS. A story by the Lever sounds the alarm on how he might use the “non-profit killer” bill to pursue political vendettas against tax-exempt organizations he dislikes. This piece exposes Long's role in trying to pressure the IRS to launch a probe into, of all things, the Humane Society following their support of a Missouri ballot measure strengthening dog breeder regulations. Put another way, if Long was ready to use the long-arm of the IRS to crack down on an organization whose sole political goal is the protection of animals, what might he do to organizations devoted to civil rights or social justice?This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Über die Schönheit und Wirksamkeit von Pricing Heute geht es um den größten Gewinn-Hebel in Unternehmen, dem häufig viel zu wenig Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt wird: Erik diskutiert mit Sebastian Voigt, Partner bei hy, über das Thema Pricing. Die beiden sprechen nicht nur über psychologische und analytische Aspekte bei der Preisfindung, sondern beleuchten auch Do's and Don'ts, um das Thema Pricing erfolgreich auf- und umzusetzen. Bei welchen Geschäftsmodellen gibt es eigentlich den größten bzw. nachhaltigsten Effekt durch Pricing? Außerdem geht es in diesem erkenntnisreichen Talk um folgende Aspekte: - Sind klassische Preiskalkulationsmodelle auf den digitalen Bereich übertragbar? - Was sind die Do's and Don'ts, um das Thema Pricing erfolgreich auf- und umzusetzen? - Welche Unternehmen setzen ihr Pricing richtig gut um und warum? - Welche Faktoren sprechen für Preisdifferenzierung, welche für dynamisches Pricing? - Wer fördert und wer bremst in Unternehmen Pricing-Strategien? - Sollte man ein Inhouse Pricing-Team aufbauen und wenn ja, mit welchen Rahmenbedingungen? Sebastian Voigt hat Wirtschaftsinformatik studiert und seine Promotion zu digitalen Monetarisierungsstrategien abgeschlossen. In den acht Jahren, die er bei Simon-Kucher verbrachte, sammelte er umfassende Erfahrungen in der Pricing-Beratung. Weitere Stationen bei namhaften Unternehmen wie Bertelsmann, ProSieben und Axel Springer folgten. Seit 2019 ist er Partner bei hy und verantwortet dort die Themen Pricing und Sales. Sebastians Podcast “Pricing Friends” hört ihr auf den gängigen Podcasts Channels, wie z.B. Apple oder Spotify. Angesprochene Empfehlung von Sebastian Buch von Michel Houellebecq: Karte und Gebiet

Unser heutiger Gast macht eine spannende Karriere in der Medien- und Verlagsbranche. Er begann seinen beruflichen Werdegang mit einer Ausbildung zum Mediengestalter für Digital- und Printmedien bei Axel Springer, wo er intensive Einblicke in die Produktionsabläufe von Print- und Onlineredaktionen gewann. Anschließend absolvierte er ein Bachelorstudium in Media Systems an der Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften in Hamburg, das er mit einer Arbeit über die Digitalisierung von Printpublikationen abschloss. Seine Studien und Praxiserfahrungen unter anderem in einer Beratung ermöglichten ihm eine tiefe Kenntnis der Schnittstellen zwischen Technik, Redaktion und Business. Sein beruflicher Werdegang führte ihn zu Gruner+Jahr. Parallel zu seinen akademischen und beruflichen Stationen bildete er sich in agilen Methoden weiter, unter anderem als Agile Coach und Change-Berater. Er entwickelte sich rasch zu einem Experten für Organisationsentwicklung, die Implementierung agiler Arbeitsmethoden und die Begleitung von Teams durch Change-Prozesse. Er begleitet Gruner+Jahr durch ein hochdynamisches Umfeld, das durch in- und externe Wandel bestimmt ist, und er ist seit 2020 maßgeblich an der digitalen Transformation des Unternehmens beteiligt. Als Vice President Transformation bei Gruner + Jahr als Teil von RTL Deutschland treibt er heute zusätzlich die strategische und kulturelle Neuausrichtung des Unternehmens voran. Er ist außerdem Co-Host von Methoden-Montag, einem knackigen Podcastformat, von dem es schon über 300 Folgen gibt. Seit mehr als 7 Jahren haben wir uns in nun schon in fast 450 Folgen mit weit mehr als 500 Menschen darüber unterhalten, was sich für sie beim Thema Arbeit geändert hat und was sich weiter ändern muss. Wir sind uns ganz sicher, dass es gerade jetzt wichtig ist. Denn die Idee von “New Work” wurde während einer echten Krise entwickelt. Welche Parallelen gibt es zwischen den Prinzipien der Pfadfinder und agilen Arbeitsmethoden? Wie lassen sich agile Arbeitsweisen in großen Organisationen wie Gruner + Jahr nachhaltig implementieren? Was sind die größten Herausforderungen bei der Transformation hin zu einer lernenden Organisation? Wir suchen nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näher bringen! Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen. Ihr seid bei "On the Way to New Work" - heute mit Jan Köster.

Three news stories summarized & contextualized by analytic journalist Colin Wright.Office-loan defaults near historic levels with billions on the lineSummary: More than $38 billion-worth of US office buildings are on the brink of defaulting or being foreclosed, marking the highest level of such debt-related distress in this real estate sector since 2012.Context: Commercial property owners typically borrow half (or more) of the money they invest in a building, so the current high interest rates in the country are making life difficult for those buyers, and the reduction in demand for office buildings has made affording those increased payments tricky, as post-COVID-19 workplace realities have collapsed entire chunks of the market, and tenants are now paying closer attention to their landlords' financial health, which—for the aforementioned reasons—is tending to be less good than it would have been several years ago, compounding this issue for some property owners.—The Wall Street JournalOne Sentence News is a reader-supported publication.

Cette semaine, on fête la liberté de la presse, dans un contexte économique difficile pour les médias et les journalistes et des craintes croissantes autour de l'impact de l'IA générative sur cette industrie. Des médias ont déjà annoncé qu'ils réduisaient leurs équipes suite à l'automatisation de certaines tâches. C'est le cas par exemple du groupe allemand Axel Springer. La presse tire parti de l'IA pour personnaliser davantage les contenus, voire pour enquêter, mais elle pourrait aussi être victime de la désinformation massive dopée par l'intelligence artificielle car, celle-ci pourrait amener le public à se détourner complètement de l'info par manque de confiance. Paradoxalement, les contenus journalistiques sont essentiels pour alimenter les modèles d'IA générative et les accords de licence de contenus entre géants de la Tech et grands médias se multiplient. Pour en parler, Sur le Fil a invité Rasmus Kleiss Nielsen, le directeur de l'Institut Reuters pour l'étude du journalisme basé à Oxford, qui produit chaque année un rapport de référence sur les médias numériques.A lire :IA: après l'effervescence, l'heure des choix dans les rédactions, par Anne-Pascale Reboul, journaliste au pôle numérique et culture de l'AFP.la charte de Paris sur l'IA et le journalismeReuters institute digital news report 2023Réalisation: Michaëla Cancela-KiefferExtraits: chaîne YouTube du Festival international de Journalisme de Perugia, La Matinale du journal Le Monde, chaîne YouTube India TodaySur le Fil est le podcast quotidien de l'AFP.

Ralph welcomes back Chuck Collins, heir to the Hormel fortune and cofounder of Patriotic Millionaires to discuss his latest report “The True Cost of Billionaire Philanthropy” which asks the question, “Would society be better off if billionaires just kept their money and paid their fair share of taxes?” Plus, we speak briefly about the situation in Gaza with Lara Friedman, president of the Foundation for Middle East Peace and Francesco DeSantis keeps us up to date with the latest news with his segment “In Case You Haven't Heard.”Chuck Collins directs the Charity Reform Initiative at the Institute for Policy Studies, where he also co-edits Inequality.org.  Mr. Collins co-founded the Patriotic Millionaires and United for a Fair Economy, and he is the author of Born on Third Base and The Wealth Hoarders: How Billionaires Pay Millions to Hide Trillions.Here's our analysis: for every dollar that Elon Musk or Bill Gates - some of these billionaires - give, the rest of us chip in 74 cents in lost tax revenue. And that's at the federal level... So, these are our tax dollars at work. And yet they're completely unaccountable in terms of where the money goes.Chuck CollinsThe financial industry, the wealth advisors—I call them the wealth defense industry—the tax attorneys and accountants. They have started to capture corners of what we think of as philanthropy with the same kind of worldview—capital preservation, tax minimization, passing on as much wealth to the next generation. So, you see ultra-wealthy people creating family foundations. And the most important thing to realize is this is taxpayer-subsidized private power.Chuck CollinsWe need to change the laws governing philanthropy. The framework that we are living with now is from 1969, which was a zenith of relative equality in the United States. We wouldn't have necessarily known that 50 years later we would be living in an oligarchy where billionaires would use their charity as an extension of their influence and power as aggressively as they are now.Chuck Collins[Shareholder resolutions are] a good way to shine some light on the murky, narcissistic, self-enriching practices of these executives who often do so at the expense of their own companies in a conflict of interest. It would be good if this discussion sparked something like that… It's not a structural reform of our political economy, to be sure. But it does alleviate some of the poverty, some of the health care necessities, the housing necessities in the areas where these corporations operate.Ralph NaderLara Friedman is the President of the Foundation for Middle East Peace. She is a leading authority on the Middle East, with particular expertise on U.S. foreign policy in the region, on Israel/Palestine, and on the way Middle East and Israel/Palestine-related issues play out in Congress and in U.S. domestic politics, Ms. Friedman is a former officer in the U.S. Foreign Service, with diplomatic postings in Jerusalem, Washington, Tunis and Beirut. She also served previously as the Director of Policy and Government Relations at Americans for Peace Now.In Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantis1. The AP reports Hamas has released a third group of hostages – including 14 Israelis and the first American hostage – as part of a four-day truce with Israel. In return, Israel has released 39 Palestinian prisoners. The Biden administration has expressed that their goal is to extend the ceasefire as long as possible. This about-face in administration policy is a testament to the power of the sustained protest and public pressure campaigns in favor of a ceasefire. However, this truce is scheduled to expire at the end of this week.2. Going further, Vermont Senator Peter Welch has called for an “indefinite ceasefire,” following the horrific shooting of three Palestinian-American students in Burlington, Vermont. Senator Welch writes “The ceasefire must be extended...to stop the bombing and prevent further loss of civilian life. The United States cannot condone a resumption of the bombing when it causes death and injury to so many civilians.” It is noteworthy that the other Senator from Vermont, Bernie Sanders, still refuses to call for a ceasefire.3. The Nation has published a piece on the genocide in Gaza that was pulled from the Harvard Law Review at the last moment. The opening lines of this article read “Genocide is a crime. It is a legal framework. It is unfolding in Gaza. And yet, the inertia of legal academia, especially in the United States, has been chilling. Clearly it is much easier to dissect the case law rather than navigate the reality of death. It is much easier to consider genocide in the past tense rather than contend with it in the present. Legal scholars tend to sharpen their pens after the smell of death has dissipated and moral clarity is no longer urgent.”4. The Intercept's Ryan Grim has shared an excerpt from his new book The Squad: AOC and the Hope of a Political Revolution in which he seeks to explain Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman's intransigent stance in favor of Israel. Essentially, Grim argues that Fetterman made a deal with AIPAC and the Democratic Majority For Israel, with Fetterman pledging opposition to the BDS movement and support for unconditional military aid to Israel, and in exchange, “DMFI and AIPAC stayed out of his race.”5. Independent journalist Séamus Malekafzali reports “A member of Germany's ruling coalition from the Greens wants all German media to sign a pledge to support Israel and its ‘right to exist', similar to how Axel Springer's media organizations (like Politico) do.” To learn more about POLITICO's new ultra-Zionist German ownership, check out the first issue of the Capitol Hill Citizen.6. The Prospect is out with a blockbuster article on the first major anti-trust case in 25 years, U.S. v. Google. This piece traces how what was once billed as the “Trial of the Century” became “the Secret Trial,” and stresses the testimony of Al-Amyn Sumar, legal counsel for the New York Times who “listed the factors that separated this case from any other his legal team had seen before… [including] numerous closed-door proceedings, withholding of public evidence, and extensive confidentiality claims by companies (not just Google, but secondary parties to the case like Microsoft and Apple) that were granted all too liberally by the judge. [Sumar noted] Even access to trial transcripts were scant, trickling out weeks after examinations.” Sumar capped this off by saying “this simply can't be the best way to go about the legal process.”7. The Prospect also reports the Biden-appointed chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Rostin Behnam, is attempting to implement a Trump-era rule that would “roll back Dodd-Frank protections for swap trades, a major class of derivatives that led directly to the 2008 financial crisis, by relaxing margin requirements for certain categories of investment funds.” Several Democrats are coming out in opposition to this move. A letter from Senator Sherrod Brown decries this as “a step in the wrong direction… [which would] undermine the goals of Dodd-Frank.”8. A third story from the Prospect focuses on deceptive Medicare Advantage plans, and specifically how they have been able to legally circumvent ACA protections covering pre-existing conditions. Put simply, if one enrolls in a Medicare Advantage program before age 65, then wishes to transition to traditional Medicare, they can be forced to undergo “underwriting” or medical health screening. As of now, only four states – New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Maine – prevent Medigap, the Medicare supplemental insurance that covers the 20 percent of medical expenses not covered by Medicare, from underwriting Medicare Advantage patients attempting to switch back to traditional Medicare. As the article explains “The millions of Americans not living in those states are trapped in Medicare Advantage, because Medigap plans are legally able to deny them insurance coverage.” Yet another instance of the pernicious influence of Medicare Advantage on the health of American seniors.9. The Tuscon Sentinel has published a story which exemplifies the folly of the so-called school choice movement. Last year, Arizona became the first state to offer all families in the state public dollars to spend at private educational institutions. In response, nearly all private schools raised their tuition rates. As the article notes, “Critics…cite the tuition increases as evidence of what they've warned about for years: Universal school choice, rather than giving students living in poverty an opportunity to attend higher-quality schools, would largely serve as a subsidy for the affluent.”10. Finally, radical and cartoonish right-wing Libertarian Javier Milei has won the presidential election in Argentina. According to the AP, Milei has vowed to implement his signature “Chainsaw Plan” for “wholesale reform of the state to slash public spending, scrap half the government's ministries, sell state-owned companies and eliminate the central bank.” It remains to be seen how far Milei will go with this program, but signs point to turbulent times ahead in Argentina.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Before Jim VandeHei co-founded the media company Politico, the only thing he'd managed was the night shift at Little Caesar's pizza in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. An early passion for politics and journalism led him to Washington, D.C., where he became a political reporter for Roll Call, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post. But by 2006, he could see how the internet was transforming journalism, so he walked away from the Post to co-found a digital publication—Politico—with the goal of setting the daily agenda for Washington's power elite. With the financial backing of a local media mogul, Politico took off, but Jim eventually grew frustrated managing a company he didn't own. So in 2017, he took another leap and co-founded Axios, a news website that gained a following for its bullet-point brevity, ready-made for the internet. Both companies have landed well: last year Axios was acquired by Cox Enterprises for over $500 million, and in 2021, Politico was purchased by Axel Springer for a reported $1 billion.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
