On today’s show, Sam discusses a piece in Columbia Journalism Review, ‘What If The Right-Wing Media Wins’ with author McKay Coppins (@McKayCoppins). How the right has shifted from ostensibly wanting to ‘reform’ the media to wanting to destroy journalism. Why the right is fundamentally advantaged in the bankrolling the weaponization of information over the left.

On the fun half –  Zuckerberg apologizes for virtually-hi-fiving in Puerto Rico, will have to apologize for not getting why he needed to apologize. Marsha Blackburn peddles Planned Parenthood lie in Tenn senate race, and your calls and IMs.
