Greg Fish is our guest on today's show, he is a journalist at Rantt and covers a wide range of topics related to data science, psyops, partisanship, and politics. I first came across his work on Medium and have since been fascinated by his insights on the ever growing Cambridge Analytica data scandal. He has some pretty interesting thoughts on the claims being made by Cambridge Analytica and whether it is actually possible to do what they are claiming they can do with your personal data.

Ahmed Baba never fails to put the news in context of the larger picture, and today was no exception. We unpack the Roger Stone indictment, the latest in the government shutdown saga, and then go through a rapid fire overview of the #TrumpRussia collusion/conspiracy. Strange times.

Kelly and Sophy chat with freelance journalist Kaz Weida about the lack of diversity in US newsrooms and how that affects coverage of current events and politics in the news media.

In light of another crazy week in Trump’s America, and today’s news that Paul Manafort is cooperating with Special Counsel Mueller’s probe, I had to get my buddy Ahmed Baba from Rantt back on the pod to help unpack these developments and put them in context for us. Ahmed also writes a wildly entertaining/informative/terrifying column called Unpresidented, which you should definitely check out if you haven’t had the chance to.

Journalism in the Trump era is under attack. Full-stop. Never before has there been a President that is so loose with the truth, and so viscous in his attacks on the First Amendment. In this troubling landscape, a new outlet has emerged. Rantt Media, independent and free from pre-2016 baggage, has grown to become a trusted voice with insightful content in the Trump Era. With over 50,000 followers on Twitter, they frequently issue rapid-response clap-backs in addition to their well-researched columns like "Unpresidented", and their piece where they surveyed over 1,500 Hillary Clinton supporters. Dylan and Nathan had the opportunity to speak with Ahmed Baba, Co-Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Rantt Media, about the latest in the Trump Russia scandal, his work at Rantt, the troubling implications of the latest aggressions by ICE, and the GOP's refusal to act as a co-equal branch in Congress.

This week I spoke with Ahmed Baba, Co-Founder and Editor-in-Chief at Rantt Media. Rantt is doing fantastic work delivering truth-based political news in a time where truth is more important than ever. We talked about what it's like running a media startup, how the election has changed everything, and cataloguing the Trump presidency in his weekly column, "Unpresidented."  We'll be having Ahmed back intermittently to do some deep dives into different aspects of the Trump Administration, and we're lucky to have him.
