Daily Beast podcast interview
Here’s a link to my interview on The New Abnormal podcast by the Daily Beast.
They interviewed me about Sinclair Broadcasting and their disinformation campaign against Joe Biden. My interview starts at the 23:10 minute mark.
I listened to the podcast, well done. Sinclair has been getting a lot of unwelcome publicity lately. Judd Legum started the ball rolling and you and others have joined in. All of it is for the better. Nothing hurts the vampire like sunlight. Here in Syracuse Sinclair controls the NBC, CBS and CW outlets. They are generally full of shit, and it's obvious when they peddle a national feed rather than a local story. But no matter, if you watch a whole newscast you can be sure to get fed some right wing bullshit. My defense is to ignore everything but the weather forecast that generally doesn't include some right wing baloney, then I turn the channel.
I don’t know how intentional it was, but when I was musing later, I recalled how often you used the word family. This morning walking under the trees, it hit me: the New Feudalism - with Dukes and Barons and Emperors and Jesters.
