In this week’s episode, Jennifer welcomes Howard Polskin, president, founder, and chief curator of The Righting.com. Howard spent the first half of his career as a journalist, writing extensively about TV news for TV Guide magazine. Drawing on his media expertise, Howard founded The Righting, an aggregation platform that curates headlines from right-leaning publications and gives readers a comprehensive overview of conservative thought and analysis. Howard and Jennifer engage in a thoughtful conversation about the gap between left and right media, the challenges of identifying media bias, and the effects of consuming news from a single perspective. Howard shares his motivation for launching The Righting after the 2016 election and describes how he discovered an entirely new media landscape. The episode covers Howard’s manual curation process, the intricacies of classifying media outlets, growing polarization in both cable news and politics, and the rise of extreme candidates driven by the primary system. Conversation topics include the contrasting coverage of post-October 7th campus protests, differing reports on the COVID-19 pandemic, and the evolving political center of the United States. Howard explains how regularly reading conservative commentary has shifted his understanding of certain issues, emphasizing the value of intellectual curiosity and a willingness to reconsider personal viewpoints. “I look at the news from the right and the opinion pieces and the analysis like a scientist looking under a microscope at a deadly virus.” – Howard Polskin Today on The Political Contessa: The Righting.com aggregates and curates headlines from a diverse selection of right-leaning publications for daily insight. Howard Polskin launched The Righting.com after realizing in 2016 that much of the right-leaning media landscape was unfamiliar to him. It is easier to identify right-wing media outlets than to label progressive or mainstream ones. Left- and right-leaning media sources frame and prioritize major stories in dramatically different ways. Exposure to alternative viewpoints has meaningfully shaped Howard’s opinions on certain topics. Political polarization and extremism are fueled by current primary election systems. Coverage of contentious events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and campus protests, depends heavily on the news outlet. Howard Polskin curates The Righting manually each day, without AI, to ensure content is thorough and accurate.

Karol Markowicz sits down with Miriam “Mock” Weaver and Amy Jo “Daisy” Clark of Chicks on the Right for a candid conversation about the growing divisions inside conservative media, speaking out when it’s unpopular, and what they believe is happening to the American right. Mock and Daisy explain why they were willing to publicly criticize prominent conservative voices including Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson, why authenticity has been central to Chicks on the Right’s success, and how they built a fiercely loyal audience over more than 17 years of political commentary. They also share the unlikely story of how Chicks on the Right began, their transition from corporate careers to blogging, radio and podcasting, and why patriotism remains at the heart of their show. Karol, Mock and Daisy also debate where America could be headed over the next five years, the political divide between left and right, the influence of AI and technology on culture, the future of younger generations, and whether Americans have reason to be optimistic about the country. Plus, Mock opens up about resilience after suffering a stroke and losing her son, while Daisy discusses family, gratitude and the importance of continuing to learn at every stage of life. It’s a wide-ranging conversation about conservative media, friendship, resilience, patriotism and why Mock’s advice remains simple: never bet against America.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Several respected polls, Quinnipiac and AP among them, now put Trump's approval rating in the low thirties, with one at 30 percent. Some of those figures sit below where he was after January 6th. He is an anchor on Republican candidates while endorsing people like Ken Paxton. Shawn Ryan and Megyn Kelly have both gone public with their disillusionment over the second term, the self enrichment, the Epstein files, Todd Blanche, Pam Bondi, and the economy. Hawk raises the obvious question about whether that shift is sincere or audience management, and points to how little of it reaches right wing media consumers. There is also the simplest explanation for why Trump wants Republicans to hold the House and Senate. Not legislation. He does not want to be impeached a third time, and he has no intention of complying with Democratic subpoenas either way. Go subscribe to The Bulwark.

Donald Trump says he's close to deciding whether to launch a massive attack on Iran as the U.S. military expands its campaign aimed at stopping attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The Pentagon used a B-1 bomber against Revolutionary Guard targets for the first time since the fighting resumed, while Iran continues attacking U.S. bases and shipping. Trump says Tehran wants negotiations, but the White House hasn't accepted any of the Iranian proposals. The House voted 214 to 208 to demand an end to hostilities, while the Senate rejected a similar measure 47 to 49.There are a lot of signs that something is about to happen. Air traffic is moving, Israel is opening bomb shelters, hospitals are getting specific instructions, and skirmishes on the Iran-Iraq border might suggest American special forces will get involved. Trump has said Israel would quickly rejoin the fight if asked, but claims the United States could act alone. The B-1 launched from Britain can carry two dozen 2,000-pound bombs or dozens of cruise missiles. Its targets included Iranian military operations centers, maritime capabilities, aircraft hangars, drone storage, and logistics infrastructure.Iran still has some ability to threaten shipping despite officials saying its military capability around Hormuz has been sharply degraded. On the other side of Saudi Arabia, the Houthis have attacked a Saudi shipping line and threatened a second critical energy route through the Red Sea at the Bab el-Mandeb.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication.

Either there's some kind of détente that lets Trump kick the can past the midterms, or you've got to extract a pound of flesh from Iran. You've got to call their bluff and say: Look, whatever you think you can do, go ahead and do it.I don't think there are any coincidences in the Middle East. It's a very transactional region, and I don't think Saudi Arabia getting a nuclear deal is disconnected from what's happening. My 360-degree view of Iran has always been predicated on the idea that both the region and the United States are looking to reshape the Middle East around Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Israel as the new powers, while the United States pivots to China. But if you're going to do that, you've got to really degrade Iran.I don't know how you do it or what you can do. It certainly seems that the Trump administration believes bridges and power plants are what the IRGC really, really, really doesn't want to lose. The more audacious military plans include storming an area where we believe Iran has nuclear material and taking it by force, seizing the coastline from which Iran is firing drones and missiles to ensure the Strait of Hormuz stays open, or seizing Kharg Island, where Iran exports its oil. I don't know that Iran can function without the kind of money it gets from oil.It's very hard to follow this because you don't really know what's happening. I didn't know why oil stayed as low as it did before, why it fell before the memorandum of understanding, or why it's shooting up now. If it goes way up, how fast can it fall? I don't know. I have no idea. But it looks like something is about to pop.

A recent episode of Jubilee featuring Dave Rubin has generated one of the biggest reactions ever, after the formerly left-wing podcaster was challenged on his MAGA credentials by 20 young Democrats who took particular issue with his faltering defense of the Iran War. Reviews of the episode have not been kind, pretty much summed up by Glenn Greenwald's assessment that Rubin is “one of the dumbest people in media.” Piers Morgan invites some of the breakout stars of what's being called ‘The Ruin Of Rubin' to come face-to-face with Will Chamberlain, who claims Dave is ‘a good guy'... He takes on Mason, Evan Martinez and Hunter Dunn who all had their moment opposite Rubin in the Jubilee ring. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Shop the store at https://shop.newchristianright.comIn part two of a conversation with Alex Stein, pastor Joel Webbon discusses why unfiltered speech and courage drive success in today's media and argues young people are becoming more religious. They contrast “boomer” conservative media figures they see as moral but timid with an ascendant, often irreligious and “degenerate” new right, and Webbon positions his approach as Bible-based, patriarchal, and “muscular Christianity” meant to fill the gap. The discussion ranges across culture versus race, family structure, sexuality, religion and politics, and the role of truth-telling and exposing lies, including interest in conspiracies such as 9/11 skepticism and critiques of evolution. Stein predicts an increasingly clip-driven, sensational media future shaped by AI and short attention spans, while both note a parallel trend of young people returning to church and seeking tradition, ending with advice to be authentic, courageous, and content.SPONSORS:NicNac - Premium nicotine manufactured in the USA - Use code JOEL20! for 20% off your first order at https://www.nicnac.com/discount/joel20!/ or get cash back for in-store purchases here: https://try.gotoaisle.com/nic-nac-ltloyalty?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=low&code=NXRVan Man - Real ingredients, No exceptions.

It's Casual Friday on The Majority Report On today's program: Melania Trump gives an unprompted press conference to announce that she is not a victim of Jeffrey Epstein. Seems like the First Lady is trying to get ahead of something.

Trump told an MS NOW reporter that he had no prior knowledge of Melania's press conference.

Michael sits down with Dr. Brian Rosenwald, author of "Talk Radio's America", to break down the rapidly evolving world of conservative media. Rosenwald—whose work was once praised by Rush Limbaugh himself—explains how talk radio helped pave the way for Donald Trump's 2016 victory. But today's media landscape looks nothing like it did then. From legacy voices like Sean Hannity to the rise of Joe Rogan and the “manosphere,” Rosenwald maps out eight distinct factions shaping conservative media in 2026. He explores the influence of viral social media personalities, MAGA loyalists, conspiracy-driven figures, and a new wave of lifestyle influencers targeting younger audiences. The conversation also tackles a key question: Has conservative media become too fragmented for any single voice to dominate—and what does that mean for future elections? If you want to understand the forces driving political discourse today—and where it's headed next—this is a must-listen. Original air date 3 April 2026 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this segment, Mark is joined by Josh Hammer, Newsweek's Senior Editor at Large and the Host of The Josh Hammer Show on 97.1 FM Talk. Hammer reacts to the antisemitic stance coming from right wing media personalities like Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens.

‘New Yorker' staff writer Jason Zengerle says after Tucker Carlson was let go from CNN and MSNBC, and joined Fox News, Trump's 2016 presidential candidacy revived his career. “Those more prestigious Fox shows… they could not find camera-ready, intelligent human beings to go on their programs and make a sensible case for Donald Trump -- and Tucker was someone who could,” he tells Terry Gross. After Fox fired Carlson in 2023, he started his own streaming show and moved further to the right. Zengerle writes that Carlson's story shows how conservative media has changed.

Angelo Carusone, a legendary observer of the conservative movement and the president of Media Matters for America, joins Mike and Jared to break down how Candace Owens has hijacked online discourse surrounding Charlie Kirk's assassination and managed to drag MAGA media into a chaos spiral as 2025 comes to a close. Together, they explore where fractures in the MAGA movement might lead and whether spats of infighting can actually give rise to more sinister political force.Worried about demons?

This morning we're diving into the chaos sparked by Milo Yiannopoulos, who is now accusing several right-wing influencers and media personalities of being gay, comments that are already leading to threats of legal action. But beneath the spectacle lies a bigger question: What is it with MAGA's constant, obsessive fixation on the LGBTQ community? From smear campaigns to conspiracy theories to outright harassment, the movement keeps circling back to the same tired bigotry. Then we'll pivot to the latest updates in the Hegseth Venezuela boat strike scandal.

Right-wing, Trump-supporting media had so thoroughly demonized New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani that it seemed all but a certainty that Donald Trump would play his part and make a show of his disdain for the young upstart upon their meeting at the White House. Instead, Trump was nothing short of fawning and even affectionate. How were Trump supporters (and political observers) so wrong in their expectations of the historically fickle Trump? Ali Velshi discusses with Rev. Al Sharpton and Molly Jong-Fast.Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, once a MAGA firebrand, who has come under fire from Donald Trump for her support for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation files, announced through a video on her online social account that she would resign her seat in Congress on January 5, 2026. MS NOW senior White House correspondent Vaughn Hillyard discusses the unexpected announcement with Ali Velshi.

Tim Davie, Deborah Turness and other senior BBC managers have gone out of their way to please the right, from the treatment of Gary Linker to the selection of political panels where there is often an imbalance that favours the right.

They weren’t political operatives—they were a civil rights lawyer, a digital editor, and a marketing guy. But in the chaos of the Trump era, the Meiselas Brothers felt compelled to act. In their first in-person interview all together, Katie gets the behind-the-scenes story of how a pandemic group chat turned into the ascendent progressive MeidasTouch Network, and why truth, clarity, and community—not partisanship—are at the heart of what they do.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There is no question that disinformation, the invention of narratives founded in lies to influence how Americans think was instrumental to the election of Donald Trump. The far right has transformed our media eco-system by repeating hateful messaging on questionable platforms now perceived by true believers to be legitimate. The repercussions are upon us: deportations without due process, federal funding freezes for resources that meet human needs, a campaign to eliminate the tax exempt status of social change nonprofits, the acquiescence of republican members of Congress to their leader and the largely uninspired response to this moment by democratic leaders. On this episode of Power Station, I turn to Kevin Peréz-Allen, Senior Vice President of the non-partisan Signal Group, which lives up to its descriptor as a modern public affairs firm. Kevin shares data from his deep dive into right-wing messaging and his experience with clients: nonprofits, businesses, law firms, embassies and universities that are navigating unprecedented challenges and seeking to be heard by policymakers and the media. And we talk about what can be gained if those on the left communicate with clarity and not condescension. We can all do better if we are open to change.
In this TALKS Episode, Tim engages in a deep conversation with Brandon Robertson, author of 'Queer and Christian: Reclaiming the Bible, Our Faith and Our Place at the Table.'

Brandon shares insights on queerness as a form of resistance to norms and the need for progressive voices in the current political landscape.

Jemele Hill has made a name for herself speaking truth to power as a journalist. She is also masterful at synthesizing the intersection of sports and politics. During his first administration, Hill was willing to go where many of her peers wouldn't when she famously called out Donald Trump. Jen Psaki sits down with the “Spolitics” host and Atlantic writer to get her take on what she thinks Democrats should be doing to show voters they are willing to fight back.

Governor JB Pritzker of Illinois is not your average progressive. He is a billionaire with an activist upbringing, in a family that prioritized advocating for the people who need it most. MSNBC's Jen Psaki wanted to get a sense of his approach to governing in this second Trump term and why priorities like raising the minimum wage and ending his state's grocery tax are front of mind for him. They also talk about the reality of a rigged system and the dangerous precedent set when an unelected citizen like Elon Musk is running much of our government. And the Governor is not shy about reminding Democrats to revive a core principle of making things just a little bit easier for everyday Americans.Want to listen to this show without ads?

Trump is using Right Wing Media, and Q-anon influencers, to “celebrate” his becoming a Russian sympathizer and throwing our Democratic ally Ukraine under the bus. Michael Popok looks closely at Trump's use of “embedded” right-wing media to support his efforts to give Putin what he wants — a weakened America under the guise of “deal-making.” Go to http://mackweldon.com/?utm_source=streaming&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=podcastlaunch&utm_content=LEGALAFutm_term=LEGALAF and get 20% off your first order with promo code LEGALAF Remember to subscribe to ALL the MeidasTouch Network Podcasts: MeidasTouch: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/meidastouch-podcast Legal AF: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/legal-af MissTrial: https://meidasnews.com/tag/miss-trial The PoliticsGirl Podcast: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-politicsgirl-podcast The Influence Continuum: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-influence-continuum-with-dr-steven-hassan Mea Culpa with Michael Cohen: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/mea-culpa-with-michael-cohen The Weekend Show: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-weekend-show Burn the Boats: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/burn-the-boats Majority 54: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/majority-54 Political Beatdown: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/political-beatdown On Democracy with FP Wellman: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/on-democracy-with-fpwellman Uncovered: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/maga-uncovered Coalition of the Sane: https://meidasnews.com/tag/coalition-of-the-sane Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, MSNBC's Jen Psaki sits down with former CNN primetime anchor turned independent journalist, Don Lemon. Don talks about the new perspective he has gained from ditching the formality of a studio and becoming a leaner, meaner media machine. And they touch on how Democrats have been slower to catch up to the evolving media ecosystem. Don believes the Democratic party, despite their ‘big tent' legacy, are shooting themselves in the foot by having some outdated purity tests that only isolate them further from voters they need to win over.Want to listen to this show without ads?

GET PETER'S BOOK HERE: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-79078-2 The influence of news coverage on the rise of far-right ideologies is undeniable. To better understand the potential impact of the liberal media on the development of authoritarian, ultra-nationalist, xenophobic, racist, or reactionary views, it is essential to explore the connection between dominant ideology and the role of news organizations in society. Using my analytical framework, I demonstrate how the mass media leverages the “safety net” to bolster far-right candidates and parties and weaken radical left-wing political groups and social movements, particularly during capitalist crises. My project goes beyond scrutinizing commercial media and critically analyzes the capitalist mode of production.

Plus, Harris comments on the killing of a Hamas leader by Israel, saying it presents an opportunity to end the war in Gaza, a stance that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seems to disagree with.
Hasan Piker, Gen Z's favorite left wing political commentator and Twitch streamer, joins Offline to talk about the Trump campaign's bro-first election strategy, the right wing's dominance of the digital media landscape, and why, 25 days until the election, he's feeling mostly…tired.

When Donald J. Trump was found guilty on all counts in the hush money trial, some in the press were caught off guard.
