Summary
James and Al cover the politicization of disaster relief, Jack Smith’s prosecution of Trump, and the ongoing confirmation hearings of Trump’s appointments. Then, they welcome progressive luminary Brian Tyler Cohen to discuss the MSM’s decline, how to find voters online, why Republican messaging is so successful at controlling the narrative, how Democrats can better reach voters going forward, and the power of a candidate showing up. Is a broad-based investment in new media content creators the best remedy to combat the right-wing’s takeover of digital media?
