Summary
Chapter 12 chronicles the demise of our fictional magazine, Capital Monthly. The pressure from the White House, from advertisers and from Social Media algorithms kills the independent journalism that was documenting what life was like under Donald Trump's second term guided by Project 2025.
This is the last episode of Trump's Project 2025: Up Close and Personal we have been presenting as special bonus episodes of (your podcast). It tells the story of what's likely to happen to a free press under Donald Trump in a second term. It's fiction but look no further than the cowardice of the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times who ran away from endorsing Kamala Harris. Merely because of the threat Trump might return to power.
