Summary

Water crises are on the rise in the United States. With so many environmental catastrophes, access to clean water is becoming a real problem in some places. But we are not powerless. What can we do about it – and what role does our government play in all of this? Jordan Chariton, the CEO of Status Coup, joins us in addressing this critical issue and highlighting the importance of government and media accountability.

Jordan is not just an independent investigative reporter, he is a force for change. His on-the-ground coverage of major stories like the Flint water crisis, the Standing Rock protests, and the 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns has had a real impact. With raw, authentic reporting, he exposes critical issues such as worker strikes, poverty, and corruption, inspiring others to take action.

Jordan's work has appeared in The Guardian, VICE News, The Intercept, and more. In 2018, he launched Status Coup News on YouTube, delivering hard-hitting journalism from the frontlines. He also recently released We the Poisoned: Exposing the Flint Water Crisis Cover-Up and the Poisoning of 100,000 Americans in August of 2024 – an enlightening book that reveals shocking new evidence of the major government cover-up that resulted in the poisoning of Flint.

In this discussion, we dive into:

Factors that contribute to the media coverage of various topics.
Where coverups and foul play tend to occur within news organizations.
The conflicts of interest and corruption that are rampant in our country.
How the situation in Flint, Michigan highlights just how broken the United States is.
