Summary
The American media landscape is no longer about excellence, it's about ideological capture. In this episode, Ben Domenech dissects the radical transformation of our institutions, from the shuttering of The Washington Post sports desk to the decline of late-night comedy into humorless activism. Ben is joined by Fox News Congressional Correspondent Bill Melugin to pull back the curtain on the internal strife within the Department of Homeland Security and the fallout from the Alex Pretti shooting. Then, Winston Marshall joins the program to discuss the "soft imperialism" of the CCP and why Greenland has become the strategic frontline in the face of Chinese global ambitions.
