Getting anything done in the halls of power, takes more character then we ever give credit for....On this episode we get into some politics and the efforts to make real change when it comes to climate control, it's time for To The EndTo the End follows the intersecting stories of four visionary young women of color who are environmental leaders on the front lines of the fight for a Green New Deal—a bold and ambitious plan to stop the climate crisis and make racial and economic justice part of the solution. The film's protagonists—Varshini Prakash (Sunrise Movement), Alexandra Rojas (Justice Democrats), Rhiana Gunn-Wright (Roosevelt Institute), and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez—are each grappling with new challenges of leadership and power in the face of cynicism and uncertainty. Over three volatile years of crisis and upheaval, from street protests to the halls of Congress, the film tracks a historic shift in climate politics in the U.S. as these young leaders work together to defend their generation's right to a future. A coming-of-age story for a movement, To the End gives audiences an unflinching look at how power works in today's America, and a front seat view of history in the making.A spiritual sequel of sorts to Knock Down The House; To The End is an incredibly engaging affair and a remind that change never comes easy.  We got the unique pleasure of sitting down with writer/director Rachel Lears to talk about the origins of the film, trying to stay a fly on the wall when the issues are so important and so very much more....To The End is in select theatres now....

Congressional candidate for Nevada's first district Amy Vilela joins Jess on the show to discuss her campaign!Amy Vilela https://www.amyvilela.org/ was in Knock Down The House alongside Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Congresswoman Cori Bush. Amy's world was shattered when lost her daughter, Shalynne, to the hands of our for-profit healthcare system after being denied care. The last thing she ever said to her daughter, holding her in her arms, was you will not have died in vein. Since then, Amy's become one of the leading voices in the country fighting for Medicare For All, was a surrogate for Bernie Sanders, and helped elected Congressman Jamaal Bowman and Congresswoman Bush. Since launching in April, Amy has already been endorsed by Senator Nina Turner, Congresswoman Bush, Sunrise Las Vegas, and the Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund. If elected, she would become the first military spouse in Congress.

It is our first time covering a documentary this week and it is also the most polarizing movie we have discussed with an 89 percent differential. Knock Down the House tells the story of four working class women who run for Congress, overcoming adversity to battle powerful political machines in very different American landscapes. With our guest Aaron in tow, we attempt to decipher the causes for the drastic difference in scores on Rotten Tomatoes. We hash out the onslaught of review bombers, wax politcs, and riff about documentaries. Critics: 99% Audience: 10%

Matt and Bowen thank this man for nominating his sister (who is AOC!!!) to Brand New Congress, who backed her successful and ultimately iconic congressional run as depicted in Netflix's "Knock Down The House". The boys discuss what it's like for Gabe to watch his sister become an icon, how the media depicts and responds to her, and break down recent primary elections. Gabe also talks about the 2007 Grammys and how Kanye and Amy Winehouse both taught him a powerful lesson that night. Also, a red table moment re: Beyoncé in the eyes of the Grammys, tons of Mariah T (the memoir is coming, people!!!!), the culture around "talking shit", How Big Is Too Big For An Iced Cube, and Bronx motherfucking appreciation.

Hello! And welcome to another edition of Inside The Newsroom. Today we have a very special guest from Maryland’s 5th district, Democratic candidate for U.S. House Mckayla Wilkes, who’s taking on fellow Democrat Steny Hoyer, with the vote currently scheduled for June 2. Mckayla and I talked about the federal government’s response to the coronavirus, which now sees 143,055 cases and 2,510 deaths in the U.S. We went through Universal Basic Income, Medicare For All and the U.S.’s draconian ‘At-Will’ employment law that allows employers to fire workers for any reason, at any time. Before we get to the rundown of everything we talked about, I want to thank Nancy Krempa for reading and supporting the newsletter over the past five months. Comments like this are why I do what I do. Enjoy ✊Picks of the Week…Boris Johnson Tests Positive — The UK prime minister is self-isolating after testing positive for the coronavirus. Two weeks ago he told the world he’d been shaking hands with hospitalized virus patients.China Reopening — Wuhan has begun to reopen after more than two months in lockdown.40 Classic Sports Games — The Ringer have put together a list of the greatest sports games to revisit.Mckayla 👇Who Are Mckayla Wilkes and Steny Hoyer?Mckayla was born in Washington D.C. to a single mother, her father unexpectedly passing away just months before she was born, and now resides in Waldorf, Maryland with her two children. Mckayla’s battle with asthma means she knows all too well about the anxiety and panic millions of Americans face every single day by not being able to afford health insurance to pay for the abhorrent costs of the U.S. healthcare system. It’s part of the reason why she’s running on a platform that includes Medicare For All and Universal Basic Income, two measures that would help ease the financial and medical pain millions of Americans not only feel today, but every day.In 63 days time, the people of Maryland’s 5th district will go to the polls to decide between Mckayla and her 80-year-old opponent Steny Hoyer, majority leader of the U.S. House of Representatives and one of the most powerful Democrats in the country. Hoyer has represented the 5th district for 40 years and is seeking re-election for his 21st term. When it comes to the issues, he’s an advocate for strengthening Obamacare, a backer of Wall Street and has received millions in donations from corporations. The gap between the two candidates could not be wider.Coronavirus in MarylandAs we detailed in Friday’s newsletter, governor Larry Hogan has instituted a shelter-in-place order, and only essential businesses continue to have physically present personnel. Gatherings of over 50 are suspended. Hogan recently said that he sees no way how things will be able to be opened back up within the next two weeks, at least. There are now 1,239 confirmed cases in the state, including 15 deaths.The Case For UBIUniversal Basic Income has been around for as long as time. It’s essentially a guaranteed income of the same amount to everyone and has repeatedly gained popularity in times of mass economic transformation and stress. Modern day welfare systems emerged out of the Great Depression and Second World War.Financial relief packages governments around the world have signed over the past month have all been forms of UBI born out of another global emergency, though it’s unclear whether these bailouts will be frequent or one-offs. But what many people forget, or simply don’t know, is that, like healthcare, millions of people face emergencies every single day from not having enough money, sometimes working two or three jobs just to cover the bills. I didn’t know at the time, but my own mother told me recently that she was one of those people who worked three jobs just to make sure my brother and I didn’t go without anything growing up. She worked as a sales assistant for two different estate agents during the day, made sure dinner was cooked and on the table, and then cleaned a car showroom at night. God bless her.UBI isn’t that simple, though, especially for prolonged periods, and unlike universal healthcare, UBI’s track record isn’t as deep nor as proven. The largest case of UBI in the U.S. is in Alaska, where the state-owned Alaska Permanent Fund has been around since 1982, and pays every Alaskan woman, man and child an annual dividend based on the fruits of the state’s resources, mainly oil. When oil prices were sky high in 2015, every resident received a one-off payment of $2,072, and in less glamorous years like 2020, the dividend is closer to $1,000. Another large UBI project took place in Finland between January 2017 and December 2018, where 2,000 unemployed Finns received a monthly no-strings-attached payment of €560 (£490; $634). Now, this is obviously a teeny eeny weeny sample size, but the results were mixed. While researchers found participants’ desire to find employment stayed relatively the same, their happiness and stress levels all improved dramatically. Ultimately, UBI is successful depending on what you’re looking to get out of it.Now, $2,000 a year or €560 a month is clearly not enough to live on, but there are fascinating results that we can take and use for the future. It seems as though the world isn’t sold on UBI as an indefinite policy, but maybe more people will be sold once they read about America’s draconian ‘At-Will’ employment laws…Like Me, PleaseBefore you read on, please like this edition of Inside The Newsroom by clicking the ❤️ below the title. That way I’ll appear in clever algorithms and more people will be able to read. Cheers.At-Will EmploymentI was having a conversation with a friend from California the other day about how she thought I was joking when I told her the standard notice period in the UK is one month, with some contracts mandating even longer if you’ve spent several years with a company. When I heard Mckayla describe Maryland’s At-Will employment laws, I thought she was joking. Turns out she wasn’t, and at-will employment is no joke.According to Maryland’s Department of Labor:Employees work “at the will” of their employers. This means, in the absence of an express contract, agreement or policy to the contrary, an employee may be hired or fired for almost any reason — whether fair or not — or for no reason at all.”The exceptions saving employees are few and far between, but include not being be able to be fired because of discrimination. No lawsuits can be filed against employers for lost wages or unfair dismissal, and turns out that most if not all states are covered by such laws, or rather the lack of them. It’s just one of the litany of reasons why the U.S. has been so unprepared to fight the spread of the virus that could end up infecting millions.What’s in the U.S. and UK Relief Packages?A $2 trillion (£1.6 trillion) U.S. economic relief package was signed last week, and a similar £330 billion ($400 billion) deal was signed in the UK. But what’s actually in them both and how easy will it be for people to recoup lost income?Starting with the U.S., most adults will receive a one-off payment of $1,200, though there are several conditional factors: Single adults with income of $75,000 or less will get the full amountMarried couples with no children earning $150,000 or less will receive a total of $2,400Taxpayers filing as head of household will get the full payment if they earned $112,500 or lessAbove those income figures, the payment decreases until it stops altogether for single people earning $99,000 or married people who have no children and earn $198,000You can’t get a payment if someone claims you as a dependent, even if you’re an adultIn the UK, the government will provide loans of up to £5 million ($6 million) for small businesses with revenues of less than £45 million ($ 55 million). There’ll also be non-repayable grants of up to £10,000 ($12,250) for 700,000 small businesses, and £25,000 ($30,000) for pubs and restaurants available. As for employees, the government has pledged to pay up to 80 percent of wages of anyone that cannot work because of the virus.Last week…#67 — Sarah Nöckel (Femstreet) on how she grew her newsletter dedicated to women in tech and venture capital to more than 7,000 subscribers from scratch and how we can close the inequality gap yesterday.… Next upHopefully James Spann to talk about the beginning of the U.S. tornado season.Related podcasts…#65 — Andrew Flowers (Journalist > Politician) on how to make the transition from journalist to running for office, and why the uninsured rate in Massachusetts is the lowest in the country.#64 — Paula Jean Swearengin (U.S. Senate) on running for the U.S. Senate for a second time, featuring in Netflix’s Knock Down The House and how the coal industry ripped West Virginia to shreds.

Amy recounts how her daughter went to Centennial Hills Hospital in Las Vegas with incredible leg pain and was seemingly denied full treatment because she did not have health insurance. Shalynne would leave the hospital with a leg brace and instructions not to take it off except to bathe - prime conditions for her condition to deteriorate. She would be rushed to another ER 3 weeks later to a hospital where she would eventually succumb to a pulmonary embolism. Shalynne's story is a gripping account of what is wrong with a 'for-profit' health care system. Amy has dedicated her efforts to bringing Shalynne's story to the fore in hopes others don't suffer the way her daughter did.

Hello! Welcome to another edition of Inside The Newsroom, where we’ll be interviewing a political candidate for the second straight week! Last week Paula Jean Swearengin, star of the Netflix documentary Knock Down The House came on to talk about her race for U.S. Senate and the issues facing West Virginia. This week’s guest is… Andrew Flowers, former data journalist for FiveThirtyEight and Indeed, current Democratic candidate for the Massachusetts state legislature. Below is a post-game of everything we talked about and more. But first, my most interesting articles of the week. Enjoy! 🤓South Carolina — How black Americans’ reverse migration is reshaping next state to voteHouston Astros — As Spring Training begins, the sign stealing scandal ain’t going away anytime soonKobe Bryant — How a city mourned the superstar’s deathAndrew 👇Who Is Andrew Flowers and How the Hell Do Start a Political Campaign?Andrew is running for state representative of the 8th Norfolk District in Massachusetts, just southwest of the Boston metro area. Andrew’s a former economist for the Federal Reserve and Indeed, and former data journalist for FiveThirtyEight. where our paths just missed. Without sounding like a political ad, it’s because of this background that Andrew believes he’s the right man to tackle Massachusetts’ soaring living and housing costs, which we’ll get into shortly. I couldn’t find much data on how many journalists transition into politics, but I can’t imagine there’s too many. If you know anyone, or any databases out there, please email me. Okay, #politicalad over, let’s get to some issues…U.S. Uninsured Rate Is Climbing, But Not In MAWe’ve heard it time and time again: Obamacare aka the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was a great step for healthcare in America, but it didn’t go far enough. No matter where you sit on the healthcare debate, whether it’s Medicare For All, or “Medicare For All for those who want it”, whether it’s on a powerpoint presentation or post-it note, it’s alarming to see that the uninsured rate in America is beginning to rise for the first time since Obamacare was signed into law in 2010. And this is in spite of Obamacare reaching record popularity, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. According to Census data, 8.5 percent of Americans were uninsured in 2018, an increase of half a percent from a year before. That means around 30 million people are still without health insurance, which for someone from a country where 100% of people have access to free healthcare, is an unimaginable thought. Credit: Me 👇Source: Kaiser Family FoundationUninsured Rate Per State, 2010-2018Andrew’s state of Massachusetts is an anomaly, where the uninsured rate is tied for lowest in the country with Washington D.C. at three percent. But unlike D.C. and any other state, Massachusetts had an uninsured rate of less than 5 percent before the ACA was even enacted, thanks to massive healthcare expansions signed into law in 2006, by our old friend Mitt Romney, then the Republican governor. Romney’s healthcare model eventually became the blueprint for Obamacare, and was successful partly because the state had a Republican governor, Democratic speaker of the House and a Democratic president in the Senate, meaning that both parties’ reputation was on the line. The same can’t be said about many other states.Traffic’s a B***hThe number one issue for Andrew in his district is transportation, more specifically traffic and congestion. I’ve only ever taken the Amtrak into Boston, which is a story for another newsletter, but thankfully I didn’t have to experience the worst traffic of any major metropolitan area in the country. Though I did have to sell a kidney to be able to afford the ticket. Yes, Boston is worse than Los Angeles, which will make Bostonians even angrier, according to transportation data firm Inrix. In fact, Boston is eighth worst in the ENTIRE WORLD, where people lose about 164 hours a year on average from sitting in traffic. Probably not the best time to say that my walk to work takes me six minutes and 53 seconds (personal best). Credit: InrixAnyway, the population in the Boston metro area grew by 15 percent between 2012 and 2017, partly due to its booming biotech industry, which increased six percent between 2017 and 2018 alone. This has lead to soaring living and housing costs, similar to that of in Austin and San Jose, directly affecting Andrew’s and other districts that surround Boston.Effects of Financial Instability on the BrainFor all of Massachusetts’ positives, and there are many, growing living costs have led to growing inequality within the state. Again, not to sound like a #politicalad, but that’s why Andrew is running: to give everyone a fair start in life. And like with everything Andrew does, there’s plenty of data and studies to back it up. The majority of us know how tough it is to have no money and live from paycheck to paycheck, and we’re far more susceptible to adverse effects on the brain. “Well duh”, you might be thinking, but it’s far more complicated than just being diagnosed with depression or severe anxiety. One study found that people who’d lived in poverty had worse verbal memory, processing speed, and executive functioning than those who’d never been exposed to poverty. Another found that 91 percent of children, whose brains are by far the most vulnerable, said they saw and felt the effects of their parents' yelling and arguing, commonly because of money troubles. Andrew Yang #MathIt must be in the name, because both Andrew Flowers and Andrew Yang hold numbers and data central to their ideas. The latter of the two dropped out of the Democratic presidential race a couple of weeks ago after finishing sixth in Iowa and eighth in New Hampshire, but despite a lack of actual votes, Mr Yang will come out of the race as one of the most popular candidates. It’s also why I joined the Andrew Yang book club. #YangGangYang began his campaign in January, 2019, on the platform of reinvesting in working class towns where automation had swallowed millions of manufacturing jobs. A 2017 report projected that automation could cost up to 73 million jobs in the U.S. by 2030, roughly 45 percent of the current workforce. And right up to his final debate performance, Yang was still the only candidate even talking about the issue. But whoever the eventual nominee is, they’ll do well if they take automation head on and visit the likes of Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin where 4 million manufacturing jobs have been lost because of machines.

Hello! And welcome to another edition of Inside The Newsroom. Today’s guest is… the formidable Paula Jean Swearengin, star of the Netflix documentary Knock Down The House and current candidate for U.S. Senate from the great state of West Virginia. Paula Jean is the daughter of a long line of coal miners and has lived in the Mountain State all her life. And she’s also recently become a grandmother! She’s thus seen the destruction the coal industry has done to her people for generations, as well as how the opioid crisis ravaged her friends first hand. So, let’s tuck into an important episode, but first, some interesting articles. Enjoy 🤓What’s New?Dallas Morning News — The DMN broke with tradition this week by announcing that it won’t be endorsing anyone for president. F**k yeah!Jeff Bezos — The Amazon CEO pledged $10bn to climate change initiatives, though it was met with criticism that it wasn’t enough. Here’s a list of the largest climate change pledges so far — Bezos will be the thirdTaylor Swift — How the Queen of Music became the Queen of the Breakup SongCovering Bloomberg — How does a news organization cover a presidential candidate when said candidate is their boss?Paula Jean 👇Who Is Paula Jean Swearengin?Paula Jean was born in Mullens, West Virginia, a town of about 1,350 people whose population has decreased by a third since 1990. Declining populations are all too common across the state, and will result in the state losing one electoral vote in the presidential election. Paula Jean burst onto the political scene in 2018 when she grabbed 30 percent of the vote from incumbent U.S. senator and moderate Democrat Joe Manchin in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate. This came two years after Bernie Sanders won 51 percent of the vote in the 2016 Democratic presidential primary to Hillary Clinton’s 36 percent, so clearly there’s a yearning for the progressive brand of politics Paula Jean represents. This time around Paula Jean faces another tough Democratic primary on May 12 against Richard Ojeda, a former state senator and apparently a brief candidate for president 🤷‍♂ and Richie Robb, former mayor of South Charleston and not a former presidential candidate. The winner of the primary will face incumbent Republican Shelley Moore Capito in November. Who is Shelley Moore Capito?Incumbent Republican Shelley Moore Capito has been junior U.S. Senator from West Virginia since 2015, when she defeated then Democratic Secretary of State Natalie Tennant. She secured 62 percent of the vote, the largest victory margin for a Republican running in a statewide race in state history (more on the weirdness of West Virginia’s voting history later). Back then, Capito was seen as too liberal for the Tea Party, but overcame stiff opposition from anti-establishment conservatives. Since then, Capito has very much fulfilled the expectation of being a rank and file Republican, voting with Donald Trump 95.7 percent of the time. Though, to be fair, which is incredibly hard to do when talking about the GOP, Capito did come to the defense of FBI Director Christopher Wray back in December when Trump went on one of his delightful Twitter tirades. But that’s where the fairness ends. Capito has received $3.5 million in donations from the likes of Delta Air Lines, private prison operator GEO Group and billion-dollar hedge fund Elliot Management, according to Open Secrets. Because of the issues effecting West Virginia and its voting past, if Paula Jean can win the Democratic primary, she could give Capito a legitimate challenge, if not cause a shock upset.Like Me, PleaseBefore you read on, please like this edition of Inside The Newsroom by clicking the ❤️ below the title.

At the presidential level, West Virginia is unequivocally a red state — the GOP has won West Virginia every election since 2000 when George W. Bush won 51.9 percent of the vote, a victory margin of 6.3 percent over Al Gore. The Republican vote share has steadily increased since then, and in 2016 Trump claimed 68.6 percent of votes, 42.1 points better than Clinton. But move on down the ticket to U.S. senators, and it’s a completely different picture.Remarkably, Capito is the only Republican U.S. Senator to serve the state since 1958. No for real, she is. Ever since Robert Byrd and Jennings Randolph were both elected, five Democrats have been elected compared to a single Republican. Even further down the ticket and Jim Justice is the first conservative governor since 2001, but only because he switched from the Democrats in 2017. Then there’s the West Virginia Senate, which Democrats have historically controlled, but is where Republicans currently hold 20 of the 34 seats, many of which were won as part of the Trump-fuelled red wave from 2016. Looking ahead to November and it’s bloody hard to know which way the state will go. Capito is a solid bet, according to The Cook Political Report, but with a growing progressive wave on the left, and a scandal-ridden president on the right, West Virginia isn’t a foregone conclusion. Coal Country: West Virginia’s Coal and Addiction ProblemThe coal mining industry employed more than 150,000 people in West Virginia during its peak in the mid 20th century — almost 10 percent of the state — and, through its unions, were closely aligned with Democrats, many of whom came from similar working class backgrounds. These days between 10,000 and 20,000 miners remain, as the threat of climate change and automation have massacred the industry. But coal is still mined — West Virginians remarkably produced more coal in 2010 than in the early 1950s, leaving behind a trail of deadly problems. The daughter of a coal miner herself, Paula Jean knows all too well the consequences of being a miner, as well as the massive employment hole the lack of reinvestment in the state has caused. Her younger sister was born with a cyst on the base of her brain, and her grandfather died in 2001 from black lung after decades of working in an underground mine. West Virginia now has an unemployment rate of 5 percent, the fourth highest in the U.S., which goes against everything most blue collar West Virginians have known. The state is ready to work. What they need is a new generation of investment in green and renewable energy jobs that spark the state’s GDP, which is again one of the worst in the nation. More importantly, though, green energy will significantly decrease the astronomical cancer mortality rate in the state — 180 in every 100,000 West Virginians die from cancer every year, third most in the U.S. That leads us to the state’s addiction problem, where the opioid crisis has hit the hardest. Once again, large corporations are literally killing West Virginians, like this town of 3,000 where millions of opioid pills were prescribed. Of all 50 states, West Virginia has been ravaged more than any other state. Paula Jean is for Medicare For All, which is expensive, but should it really be refused at the expense of thousands of lives?Credit: CDCI’ll leave you with this short doc giving a devastating outlook of the fight between coal and green energy in the state…Brand New Congress and Justice DemocratsBrand New Congress and Justice Democrats are political action committees founded by former volunteer staffers of Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign. Their shared aim is to get progressive Democrats elected to Congress, and are the organizations behind the rise of the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar. Paula Jean was first asked by BNC to run, who could be responsible for another wave of progressive candidates elected in 2020. I’ll leave you with the trailer to Knock Down The House, which follows AOC and Paula Jean in their respective 2018 primary races, as well as 2020 candidate lists for Brand New Congress and Justice Democrats.Last Week…#63 — Brian Klaas (Power Corrupts) on the history of dark propaganda … Next WeekI’ll have Francesca Fiorentini on the pod.

Hello! And welcome to another episode of Inside The Newsroom. Second newsletter of the week, after the elections in Cameroon, Ireland and Azerbaijan, which saw violence, confusion and division. Great. Today’s guest is… Brian Klaas, author, political scientist at University College London, columnist for The Washington Post and host of the Power Corrupts podcast. Brian is an expert on democracy and world politics, and he delved deep into the history of dark propaganda in his latest podcast episode. So below is a post-game analysis of everything we talked about and more. But first, my most interesting articles of the week… Enjoy! 🤓Malcolm X — Manhattan district attorney considers reopening case after Netflix documentaryCoronavirus — Shameful plug for my visual guide on how the virus has spread to 29 countries and killed 1,300 people and countingClearview — Friend of the pod Kashmir Hill examined the end of privacy as we know it in a truly disturbing pieceBrian 👇What Is Propaganda?Not to be confused with marketing or public relations, our friends at Merriam Webster define propaganda as “the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person.” It’s impossible to pinpoint exactly when propaganda was first used because, well, propaganda is as old as time. But the earliest records point to The Behistun Inscription in 515BC when Darius The Great engraved his military prowess into a large cliff in the ancient Persian Empire, aka Iran, followed by how he was the chosen one by God. Sound familiar? Around 200 years later, Alexander The Great, king of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon put his face on coins, monuments and statues as a form of propaganda. Yep, definitely sounds familiar. The Behistun Inscription 👇That all seems pretty harmless right? But as millennia, centuries and decades passed, propagandist techniques became far more nefarious. It’s generally agreed that the Catholic Church formalized propaganda and actually coined the term itself. In 1622, Pope Gregory XV set up the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith in Rome, and then in 1627, Pope Urban VIII followed that up and created the College of Propaganda, both of which provided a library for research and a school to train priests and missionaries to spread the church’s message overseas. We can tell just by the names of those two institutions that the concept of propaganda was still relatively benign and unknown to the general public. But as even more centuries and decades have passed, propaganda has become a term associated with some of the greatest atrocities and darkest evils the world has ever seen.When Did Propaganda Turn Evil?One can’t talk about the dark side of propaganda without mentioning the Nazis, so let’s do just that. Perhaps the most common question people have is why the German public couldn’t see through the Nazi propaganda machine, similar to how most sane people see right through Donald Trump’s b******t (more on that later). Many Germans did, and many voiced their opposition to Adolph Hitler’s rhetoric well before the country went to war with the world in 1939. Many Germans were punished in unthinkable ways. But as Brian pointed out on the podcast, propagandists like Hitler and his sidekick Joseph Goebbels didn’t just spread their lies and falsehoods right away. A smart propagandist first builds trust and credibility. For Hitler, that meant using events in the aftermath of World War One to his advantage. When the Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919 to formally end WW1, Germany was brought to its knees economically by the Allied Powers, who forced Germany into surrendering land and ordered them to pay reparations in the realm of $269 billion in today’s money. Naturally, Germany endured a devastating depression, which paved the way for Hitler’s rise. In hindsight, it was only a matter of time before the Nazis gained power, but the seeds were sewn well before they finally did gain power in 1933. Mein Kampf was published in 1925 and detailed Hitler’s personal struggle in post-war Germany, as well as his nationalist and anti-Semitic views. As a sign of how people felt at the time, Mein Kampf had sold six million copies by 1940. This isn’t a newsletter rehashing World War Two, so let’s move onto propaganda in 2020 and visit our favourite Mango Mussolini…Please Just Like MeBefore you read on, please like this edition of Inside The Newsroom by clicking the ♥️ below the title. That way I’ll appear in clever algorithms and more people will be able to read. Cheers.Propaganda 2020 🇺🇸The Propagandist-in-chief is by far the most overtly lying president we’ve ever seen. Barry Goldwater came close, but he lost convincingly to Lyndon Johnson in the 1964 presidential race. Trump has lied to us ever since he entered our lives decades ago, and has lied so much since he became president, CNN journalist Daniel Dale has carved out a niche role for himself literally fact checking every single statement the president makes. I couldn’t find how many lies he’s uttered since he became president, but I know that the number is well into the thousands. Since July 8, 2019, he’s made 1,729 false claims, an average of eight per day. I actually had Daniel on the podcast last year while he was still at the Toronto Star, which you can listen to below…Trump didn’t create right-wing angst, he’s merely a symptom of years and years of lies and misleading framing by Fox News, aka the propagandist machine of today. It’s actually quite surprising how Fox continues to have such a large influence in corrupting public discourse in a media environment that’s so fragmented. But when you scan the right wing media landscape and see how many conservative outlets also living in alternate reality that were started by former Fox employees — Glenn Beck’s BlazeTV and Matt Drudge’s Drudge Report to name just a couple — you start to really see Fox’s impact.Looking ahead to the rest of 2020 is depressing enough (sigh), and we can expect much more of the same from 2016. That’s because Facebook, which is the largest propaganda machine of them all, will allow political candidates to place false ads, a policy they claim supports free speech. Its founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has become completely deluded and is living in an alternate reality himself, becoming the most powerful propagandist in the world.North Korea: An Unimaginable Alternate RealityIt’s hard to imagine what life in North Korea is like. No elections, no freedom, no truth. North Korea is in its own league when it comes to propaganda. Shortly after Korea was divided into two zones at the end of WW2 — the north occupied by the Soviet Union and the south by the U.S. — the Kim dynasty took over the north. Heavily influenced by the Soviet communist dictatorship, North Korea has smothered its citizens with lies and barbaric living conditions, so much so that there isn’t a place like it in the world. Like with any dictatorship, cracks have begun to show in the country’s 70-year propagandist history, and the Kim dynasty’s days could be numbered. The country is so dependent on its agriculture industry that a poor harvest season has and will send the country into deep economic depression. The UN estimated that more than 10 million people — around 40 percent of the population — face severe food shortages. Because the country can’t provide for itself, North Korea relies so heavily on aid from other countries, mostly from China, but also recently from South Korea whose citizens have many relatives living in the atrocious conditions up north. Other countries include Russia, Switzerland, Sweden, Canada, Norway, France, Germany, Denmark, Finland and Ireland. I’ll leave you with Vice founder Shane Smith’s documentary of life inside the country, which is simultaneously gripping and heartbreaking.Last Week…#62 — Krystal Ball (The Hill) on the rise of left- and right-wing populism… Next WeekI finally had Paula Jean Swearengin on the podcast, who was one of the stars of the Netflix documentary Knock Down The House alongside Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is currently for the U.S. Senate from West Virginia.Job CornerEach week I’ll feature a selection of new journalism jobs. Staying on brand this week, below are a selection of investigative openings… Boston Globe Spotlight Team — Investigative Journalism FellowshipDolcefino Consulting — Investigative Media ReporterEnvironmental Investigation Agency — China Media and Policy AnalystOklahoma Watch — Executive Director, Executive EditorProject On Government Oversight — Director of ResearchThe New Humanitarian — Editorial InternVoice of America — Internship program Get on the email list at insidethenewsroom.substack.com

Hello! And welcome to another edition of Inside The Newsroom! Lots of exclamation marks today as we passed 2,500 subscribers over the weekend! Thank you for being part of this — I’m very humbled! Right, today’s guest is… Krystal Ball, former Democrat congressional candidate and co-host of Rising, The Hill’s daily political show. Krystal’s book, The Populist’s Guide To 2020!, co-authored with Saagar Enjeti, will be out on February 8, so we got into all the contents of the book, as well as The New York Times’ somewhat bizarre dual endorsement of Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar. Below is a post-game analysis, but first, my favorite articles over the past week. Enjoy 🤓Remembering Kobe and Gianna Bryant — The world stopped on Sunday when we learned of the passing of Kobe and Gianna BryantFacebook is turning into a Republican platform — Who are the Republican political operatives calling the shots at Facebook?Greece elects first female president — High court judge and human rights advocate secures backing of left- and right-wing partiesKrystal 👇What Is a Populist Anyway?Great question. Merriam Webster describes a populist as “a member of a political party claiming to represent the common people.” But as we’ve experienced just in the past two election cycles, populists and populism can come in all shapes and sizes. Take populist-in-chief Donald Trump, for example, whose 2017 inauguration speech was littered with populist sentiment, perhaps none more so than when he remarked“For too long, [those in politics] have reaped the rewards of government while people have borne the cost. Washington flourished, but the people did not share in its wealth.”Perhaps the most common misconception of populism is that it only comes from the right. Cross the aisle into the Democratic Party and you’ll find a whole host of populists, and politicians pinching nuggets of populism to forward their agenda. Bernie Sanders is the most well-known populist on the left right now, but let’s not forget how Barack Obama too railed against the greed of Wall Street among other populist themes to help his 2012 reelection bid. Mark Rice-Oxley and Ammar Kalia, The GuardianQuick plug for my conversation with Ryan Grim, D.C. bureau chief for The Intercept and author of the book We’ve Got People, a history of progressivism in the Democratic Party.How Old Is Populism?Populism is as old as democracy itself and it’s almost impossible to pinpoint the exact period when populism was first used for political gain. Throughout the 20th century, populism was mostly associated with the rightwing — a German politician in the 1930s and 40s had a lot to do with that. But as we know, populism comes from the left and the right. According to Cas Mudde, a professor of international affairs at the University of Georgia, it was the 2008 financial crash that freed populism from the stigma of being attached to the radical right. The rise of Syriza and Podemos in Spain are prime examples. Like with most things, though, Trump’s presence on the political scene amplified the term to meteoric heights, as outlined by Google searches of the term ‘populism’, of which will only increase as we get deeper into 2020.Cas Mudde for The GuardianThe Meaning Behind the New York Times’ Dual EndorsementUnless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll know that the New York Times broke tradition and endorsed two Democrats for the party’s presidential nominee. The paper’s editorial board put their weight behind Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar. In their own words, the Times feels that the duo are “the most effective advocates for each approach,” the two approaches being a radical overhaul of essential programs and institutions, and a steadier let’s-not-ruffle-too-many-feathers strategy. But what makes the endorsements utterly confusing, and painfully ironic, is the fact that the Times picked two candidates who have little chance of winning the nomination. Not that newspaper endorsements even matter, Warren is currently third in the race, according to FiveThirtyEight, and has tanked since her debacle with Bernie. As for Klobuchar, the senator from Minnesota is outside the top four, and has a three percent chance of winning the Iowa caucuses. Turns out the Times’ “most effective advocates” won’t be very effective at all.The Editorial Board, The New York TimesAre Bernie and Liz Really That Different Then?For many progressives, choosing between Bernie and Liz was like choosing between a tangerine and a clementine: Both pretty juicy, with one being sweeter than the other. Both candidates are vocal about reining in society’s richest and eliminating corporate greed, both want Medicare for all, and both have extensive plans to deal with the climate crisis. But if the NYT is honest about choosing Warren because she’s the candidate who’ll most likely get things done in government, then there must be key differences between the Bernie and Liz campaigns. Sure, there are inevitable nuances between the two candidates’ policies — Bernie has stated that he wants to eliminate all undergraduate college tuition at four-year public colleges and universities, while Warren wants to cancel up to $50,000 of student loan debt. But overall, they really aren’t that different. Despite their “beef” from the other week, I maintain that I’d be happy with either candidate winning the nomination. With that said, I guess the main difference between the two is that Bernie is leading the polls and Warren isn’t. Tara Golshan, VoxWhy Won’t the MSM Embrace Bernie?The most frustrating thing to see over the past half a decade is the mainstream media’s treatment of Sanders. Like many of us, I have good friends that work for the largest newspapers and cable outlets, so this is of course not a dig at every single journalist whose LinkedIn profile includes the likes of CNN or The Washington Post. It’s also obvious that just because you work for an organization, it doesn’t mean that you subscribe to agreeing on everything your outlet publishes. I for one don’t agree with 100 percent of the content The Guardian puts out. That said, it’s hard to ignore how differently Sanders has been covered compared with Hillary Clinton in 2016, and now the likes of Warren and Joe Biden in the 2020 cycle. This goes further and deeper than merely preferring one candidate over another, which I don’t think journalists should be get into. As Krystal elegantly pointed out in the podcast, the Democratic Party has become more and more fractured, and as it has done so, the NYT have had no qualms about representing the portion of voters who are socially liberal, yet are moderate or even drift into Republican territory when it comes to economics. I have few problems with that. But when the Times states publicly that its aim is to grow digital revenue beyond $800 million, alienating the sizeable portion of progressives in the process is counterintuitive and hard to believe that they’re still the paper of the left.

Evan takes Megan and Dave down Thriller Lane (TM) this week to talk about FRACTURED (2:44), a Netflix movie starring Sam Worthington as a man whose family goes missing at a hospital, and BLACK AND BLUE (10:39), a cop flick about a rookie with conflicting loyalties. One Evan thinks was good, the other…not so good. Then Megan and Dave talk KNOCK DOWN THE HOUSE (26:11), a Netflix documentary about the 2018 U.S. elections, featuring four politicians, one of whom happens to be Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Megan follows that up with another political doc, WHERE’S MY ROY COHN? (40:10), about guess who? Finally, Megan and Dave end on Bong Joon-ho's PARASITE (45:30), a movie that begins in one place and then goes to a very different (and dark!) place. Don’t forget to visit our Patreon page! This week’s exclusive audio is about THE OMEN!

In 2018, documentary filmmaker Rachel Lear’s followed four non-traditional female candidates for the congressional primaries. One of those candidates was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and so this film has a ringside seat to the rise of one of the most exciting new progressive voices of our age.
