Description
Daily Signal President and Executive Editor Rob Bluey and PragerU CEO Marissa Streit discuss how America’s media landscape is being reshaped—the competition, the pros and cons of independent podcasting, and the responsibility to deliver honest reporting. They also unpack the hidden agendas of “ratings” groups like NewsGuard, the incentives that reward clickbait over truth, and why the future of journalism depends on transparency and accountability.
