Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: "Should Jeff Bezos be held to a higher standard of financial commitment to the Washington Post because of his personal wealth?" After the Washington Post announced newsroom cuts affecting more than a third of its journalists, Michael Smerconish examines whether criticism of Jeff Bezos is fair—or misplaced. Drawing on commentary from Hanna Rosin and Glenn Kessler, Michael explores the economics of modern journalism, the consequences of editorial decisions, and whether a billionaire owner has a special obligation to sustain a legacy newsroom. Is this about mismanagement, market realities, or expectations that only apply to the ultra-wealthy? Listen here, then vote, and please rate, review, and share this podcast!

In this episode, I sit down with journalist Stella Inger-Escobedo to unpack the growing divide between independent media and traditional institutions. Drawing on her background as a former TV news anchor and a Soviet Jewish refugee, Stella explains how lived experience shapes the questions journalists ask — and the stories they're willing to tell. We talk about trust, objectivity, propaganda, and why so many audiences are turning away from legacy outlets in search of something more honest. This is a conversation about who journalism is really for — and who holds power now.Find Stella on Instagram HERE.

Rachel Maddow looks at the latest headlines showing Donald Trump backpedaling in the face of protests and plummeting poll numbers, taking a shocking loss in a special election, losing court cases, and watching resignations in protest deplete his Justice Department. The pushback against Donald Trump is happening everywhere he turns and grows ever more effective the more Trump wobbles and weakens.Rachel Maddow looks at how communities around the country are finding ways to prevent Donald Trump from establishing immigration prison camps where they live.

Georgia Fort, an award-winning independent journalist arrested while reporting on a protest at a church in Minnesota, talks with Rachel Maddow about the ordeal of being arrested at home by federal agents, and Donald Trump's efforts to bully, intimidate, and criminalize journalists in an effort to control what Americans are allowed to know.  Want more of Rachel?

In this episode, we sit down with three disinformation researchers whose new paper found something surprising about both our resistance and our susceptibility to both true news we wish was fake and fake news we wish was true.Our guests are three of the scientists exploring a newly named cognitive distortion, one that every human being is prone to exhibiting, one that is so common and so easily provoked that nefarious actors depend on it when distributing disinformation and propaganda.Samuel Woolley, Katie Joseff, and Michael Schwalbe will share their methods, findings, and takeaways. They will also explain the troublesome nature of something they are calling concordance over truth bias – a distortion that most often appears in those who have the most (undeserved) confidence in their own (not-so-objective) objectivity. - How Minds Change- Show Notes- Newsletter- David McRaney's BlueSky- David McRaney's Twitter- YANSS Twitter- Why Do We Share Our Feelings With Others?- Concordance Over Truth Bias- Samuel Wooley- Katie Joseff- Michael Schwalbe- Geoffrey Cohen Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Kate revisits one of her most memorable and frequently requested interviews: a conversation with Bruce Leininger, co-author of Soul Survivor and father of James Leininger. This remarkable story began when Bruce and his wife, Andrea, noticed that their young son, James, was experiencing intense recurring nightmares and speaking with unusual specificity about events he claimed to remember from another life. At only two years old, James began describing detailed memories of being a World War II fighter pilot named James Huston Jr., who was killed during the Battle of Iwo Jima.

Trump Ready to Hit Iran Again. Putin/Ukraine Energy Cease Fire? ICE Beating Up Old Ladies. Sen Redneck Hates the Super Bowl. Friday Football: Pro Bowl Edition.  This rapid fire episode is an intense real‑time situation report from Times Square on one of the wildest Fridays of 2026 so far. Paul Rieckhoff digs into the federal arrest of Don Lemon and Minnesota journalist Georgia Fort after church protests, and why Trump's push to criminalize journalism and protest crosses a dangerous new line in his war on the free press—making clear that if they can be targeted, so can any podcaster, reporter, or citizen who dares to speak out.​​ Rieckhoff lays out Trump's playbook: stoking protests to justify invoking the Insurrection Act, deploying the 11th Airborne and National Guard, and using ICE as an unaccountable strike force against immigrants, veterans, kids, and even elderly women, backed by disturbing new videos from Minneapolis, Maine, Colorado, and beyond that show a culture he argues is rotten beyond repair. He tracks how Trump is repositioning the military for a potential strike on Iran while dropping Epstein files, naming a new Fed chair tied to those documents, and counting on chaos and fear to keep him in power—all as Ukraine hangs on a fragile energy‑strike “ceasefire” and over a million independents in Maryland fight for open primaries.​ Amid the mayhem, Paul still delivers the five I's—independence, integrity, information, inspiration and impact—honoring the legacy of Catherine O'Hara, previewing the Pro Bowl's flag football future, the coming Super Bowl “woke bowl” culture war, and why flag football's Olympic debut matters for the next generation. Through it all, he centers what really counts: the courage of protesters freezing in Minneapolis, the fear and resilience of kids living under ICE, and the power of joy and community as a form of resistance—arming anyone who's angry with the context, clarity, and fuel they need to push back and stay vigilant. Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWTen years ago, the idea that journalists could be arrested in the United States for doing their jobs would've been laughed out of the room. Not debated. Laughed at. And yet here we are, watching federal agents put reporters in custody while the government stretches the definition of criminal behavior to make it sound legal after the fact.This episode starts with that line being crossed and why it matters far more than the personalities involved. When the government decides that simply being present, documenting events, or asking questions can turn journalism into a crime, the chilling effect isn't accidental. It's the point. This isn't about law and order. It's about who gets to decide when reporting becomes inconvenient.At the same time, we're being told something even more disturbing, that billions of social media posts are being monitored every single day. Not quietly. Not as a rumor. Out loud. Speech isn't just moderated anymore. It's watched, tracked, cataloged, and treated as something that needs to be managed when it challenges power or organizes opposition.That shift isn't neutral and it isn't evenly applied. Political speech that pushes back gets throttled, buried, or flagged, while other voices are amplified and normalized. Private conversations, encrypted chats, and organizing outside approved channels are suddenly being framed as suspicious simply because they exist beyond control.And then there's the Epstein document dump. Millions of pages released in one shot, followed by a declaration that this is everything and the case is effectively closed. No real explanations. No clear accountability. Just volume and a request that the public move on. That isn't transparency. That's noise used to bury the truth instead of confront it.These aren't separate stories. They're signals. Journalism under pressure. Speech under surveillance. Accountability drowned in data. If it feels like the ground is shifting fast, it's because it is.

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon has been arrested for his alleged role in the occupation of a church in St. Paul, Minnesota—and the media response tells us everything we need to know about the modern press. Today on The Todd Huff Show, Todd breaks down why this was not a “protest,” why journalism does not shield criminal behavior, and how narrative control has replaced truth in today's media class. We explore the dangerous collision between activism and reporting, the misuse of First Amendment defenses, and why real journalism requires independence, distance, and honesty. This case isn't about silencing critics—it's about accountability, the rule of law, and refusing to let credentials excuse lawlessness.

Joe Pags issues a serious warning as local media outlets openly advertise protests — calling it propaganda, not journalism. As a broadcaster with decades of experience and multiple awards for excellence in journalism, Pags explains why this moment matters and how the media's role has crossed a dangerous line. Then things escalate: the Chicago mayor vows to prosecute federal immigration officers, and Pags says that's beyond reckless — it's political theater with real-world consequences. Plus, Eric Schwalm joins the show for a must-hear first installment. If you're on X, you've seen his viral breakdown of the so-called “grassroots” Signal chats targeting ICE. Schwalm, a former Green Beret who actually led counter-insurgency operations overseas, doesn't mince words — he calls what's happening an insurgency, explains how these movements really operate, and why Minnesota should be taking this far more seriously. This is part one of an explosive insider conversation you won't hear anywhere else. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Last fall, Bari Weiss, former New York Times columnist and creator of The Free Press, was hired as the editor-in-chief of CBS News. The hiring came soon after Paramount, CBS's parent company, was purchased by David Ellison, whose father is a supporter and adviser to President Trump. New Yorker staff writer Clare Malone has written a new piece, "Inside Bari Weiss's Hostile Takeover of CBS News," based on her reporting on the changes happening within CBS News since Weiss was hired. Malone discusses her findings and takeaways on the state of one of America's most storied newsrooms.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Brian Custer. Summary of the Interview On Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald interviews Brian Custer—Emmy Award–winning sportscaster, ESPN anchor, play-by-play commentator, cancer survivor, fashion enthusiast, and HBCU graduate of Hampton University. The discussion moves through Custer’s early life in Columbus, Ohio; the influence of Black media figures on his career; his journey from a childhood dreamer sitting beside his grandmother watching Walter Cronkite to becoming a nationally recognized sports broadcaster; and his path into fraternity life as a member of Kappa Alpha Psi. Custer describes how he discovered broadcasting at an early age, secured internships in high school, and worked grueling night shifts in radio before transitioning into television. But the most powerful portion of the interview is his emotional recounting of his battle with aggressive prostate cancer at age 42—a diagnosis he initially wanted to hide. He shares the moment his doctor insisted he use his platform to educate men of color about prostate cancer, a mission he now treats as a calling. The interview ends with sports talk—including commentary on the Gervonta “Tank” Davis vs. Ryan Garcia fight—and a heartfelt exchange about mentorship, legacy, and the importance of Black excellence and representation in media. Purpose of the Interview 1. To spotlight Brian Custer’s broadcasting journey He shares how childhood influences, mentors, and early opportunities shaped his journalism career. 2.

To highlight the impact of HBCUs and Black fraternities He explains how Hampton University and Kappa Alpha Psi shaped his identity and leadership. 5. To celebrate representation in sports media Custer honors trailblazers like Irv Cross, James Brown, and Carol Simpson, showing how visibility opened doors. Key Takeaways 1. Early exposure builds dreams Watching Walter Cronkite, Friday Night Videos, and Ted Koppel developed his passion for broadcasting.His grandmother’s nightly viewing rituals deeply influenced him. 2. Representation matters Seeing Irv Cross, James Brown, and Carol Simpson on television affirmed his ambition and provided powerful role models. 3. Hard work—not shortcuts—built his career Custer’s first job was midnight–8 a.m. radio, reading hourly newscasts.He later interned and volunteered long after programs ended to gain experience. 4. Prostate cancer is a silent but deadly threat His routine physical revealed a suspicious PSA level (5.4), leading to a biopsy and an aggressive cancer diagnosis.He initially refused repeat screenings due to stigma but credits his doctor’s persistence with saving his life. 5. Using his platform for good became a mandate His surgeon urged him to become an advocate for prostate cancer awareness—particularly for Black men, who are disproportionately affected. 6. Vulnerability creates connection Custer’s openness about fear, masculinity, and mortality mirrors Rushion’s own thyroid cancer journey, creating an intimate, healing conversation. 7. Career longevity requires authenticity and relationship-building Custer praises mentors like James Brown and the brotherhood of Black media professionals.He underscores the importance of connections—not shortcuts—in building a respected brand.

Synopsis:  A crime against journalism': Tune in as experts dissect corporate media's priorities - serving shareholders or informing voters?This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription:  Journalism is at an inflection point. Under a hail of lawsuits, firings, new hires, and mercenary mergers, the business of media is in shambles even as the need for reliable, truthful information to reach voters is greater than ever. Where does that leave journalists? In this episode, Laura and her guests discuss the money media's dangerous denials and obfuscations, the problem with bothsidesism in a time of fascism, and the coverage of Renee Good's killing in Minneapolis. Dean Obeidallah is a lawyer, writer, award-winning comedian and host of SiriusXM radio's national daily program “The Dean Obeidallah Show”. Joy Reid, formerly host of the award-winning ReidOut on MSNBC, is a best-selling author, and host of the Joy Reid Show on YouTube. The decline of legacy media isn't all bad news — especially for those, like Palestinians and others, who were always shut out of it — and the rise of independent platforms, savvy media consumers and new mechanisms for collaboration just might usher in a new age of great journalism, just when we need it. Join Dean, Joy and Laura for this rich conversation on resistance, reporting, and survival.  [This conversation was recorded on January 14, 2026]“What I would like corporate media to understand, their job is not to make money for shareholders and executives to get bonuses, but serve the people, make them smarter, even if it means losing access. I know that's a lot to ask, but that's what I would like because an educated, informed electorate is the key to saving this republic.” - Dean Obeidallah“It is a crime against journalism for the editorial director of a news network to say our job is not to deliver the news, but to go viral. That's crazy.”- Joy ReidGuests:•  Dean Obeidallah: Host of SiriusXM radio's The Dean Obeidallah Show• Joy Reid: Host of The Joy Reid ShowWatch the episode released on YouTube; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).
