The Danger of a Central Bank Digital Currency
"RC a couple of points. I want to get to digital currency, but something that I forgot to mention, which is significant, which regardless of how people might feel about crypto right now. Signature bank didn't get the same treatment as did SVB. Why do you suspect that is? So great question, Carl. So signature and silvergate, both banks that are more involved in crypto did not get the same treatment as Silicon Valley bank. So here's the kicker, right? A lot of people think cryptocurrency is just inherently bad. It's actually inherently simple. A true decentralized cryptocurrency everyone would allow you to buy sell and transact without the government being in your business. Now, we all know that the government absolutely hates competition. So that leads you to understand why those banks fail. And why you're being told crypto is inherently dangerous because it gives you a level of freedom. So Carl, let's contrast that for a second with the Central Bank digital currency. There are a number of us out there Catherine Austin fix is one of the best in the world at describing this. But the Central Bank digital currency is inherently dangerous for a couple of reasons. So I'm going to do a simple breakdown and then I'm going to tell you guys how they're laying the foundation to do this right now. So imagine that the government one day is all of a sudden you're back. So let's say with everything that's happened, they say one day, look, the banking system is unstable. The economy is unstable. The government is going to become the bank. You're going to use a Central Bank digital currency. Here's your card, your money's in there, right? Right. Then they decide, well, Carl, you need to spend more. And Carlson, I don't spend, I say it. So they say, we're going to penalize you 10% of your balance every day until you do what we say. Or we're going to tell you to stop spending and penalize you until you do what we say. And then they're going to decide Carl had a state last night. You know what? No more stake for Carl. So you can't go buy it. That's the future of a Central Bank digital currency.

Are Monkeys Native to Dallas?
"A page on Instagram Dallas news or whatever the case allows TV, whatever it's called. And they give you updates about everything going on in the area. And some guy posted up on his phone and he said, he said, I believe there's a monkey in the street. And it really looks like a monkey in the street. Like it really does. But the kicker is that he said, in his post, is this native to Dallas? Judd. When I read that, I just couldn't, I couldn't fathom. I'm hoping he's joking, but if he's not my God, what a moron. Is this native to Dallas? Yes, yes it is. You know what? Can you see him? Dallas monkey. You moron. Anyway, I just thought that was hilarious. I hope Liz and I hope for I hope it's out and it's enjoying itself out in the Dallas summertime. It really does look like a monkey. I don't know what it is. It wasn't very clear, but if it is, I hope he's safe and hopefully headed back to the zoo because we all know that's where he was from. Well, no, not necessarily something. Yeah, it could have just been the native monkeys that live here. Unbelievable.

Gabe Kaminsky: How a Microsoft Ad Company Blacklists Conservative Media
"Part three of our series focuses specifically on zander XA MDR Vander is a Microsoft owned advertising company And Xander is a company that subscribes to the global disinformation index list of conservative outlets And we actually via whistleblowers related to the advertising industry obtained records and emails showing the media outlets that Vander determines are pushing false or misleading or quote reprehensible or offensive content These outlets include the Washington examiner the daily wire RealClearPolitics newsmax the daily caller the Washington times Glenn Beck dot com Rush Limbaugh dot com A variety of variety of websites Charlie Kirk dot com And the real kicker upon a few years this organization subscribes to that blacklist and we now know about Xander itself is actually contributing to the defunding of a variety of outlets And so it begs the question is that because of their subscription to that disinformation blacklist or is it because of their own determinations

Gabe Kaminsky: A Public-Private Initiative to Censor Free Speech
"Well as you look at this and you've seen more than you probably have been able to publish on the pages of the Washington examiner Are you concerned about this war this ideological war against conservatives against free speech Are you concerned about this kind of attempt to use economic blackmail to cut off people and so forth and to advance just one ideology Yeah I think what you had mentioned earlier certainly this certainly does fit into the broader narrative of like we've seen kind of with what had been released via the Twitter files And that material that shows that this private public partnership between the government and nonprofits or corporate entities that are sort of working hand in hand to target political actors And I think part two of our series is probably really kind of the kicker of this because again with this public partner public private partnership that's where I think this becomes a major issue in the United States government is working hand in hand with private organizations that are taking steps with other private organizations to censor speech that they determine to be politically not advantageous Is the series this three part expose is a available in front of these subscription wall where anybody can go see it Yeah you know Yeah Yeah So people want to see it Where do they go Yeah if anyone wants to read the story you did a Washington examiner dot com and we have a tag on the website

Why the Celsius Examiner Report Shows 'A Complete Disaster'
"Today's guest is kadam schubert investigative reporter at the Financial Times. Welcome Adam. Thanks for having me on. This week, the Celsius independent examiner, shoba Pelé, dropped her 476 page report on the failed crypto lender. And it was quite the bombshell. What were your main takeaways from the report? The main takeaway from the report is that Celsius was a complete disaster in almost every way imaginable and almost from the very beginning, in a way. One of the major things that came out in the examiner's report is to do with the Celsius native token cell, and the way that the way that the examiner portrays what was going on with Sal, is that Celsius spent an enormous amount of money, including its customers, Bitcoin and Ethereum, including investor cash, simply on buying its own native token to prop up the price. And then the real kicker here is an examiner's report. One of the reasons that they were spending so much money buying its own token was so that executives, including Alex mashinsky, could sell their token. And so that their sales would not crash the public price. And I think the amount is something like $68 million worth of sound that Alex musky sold. Yeah, and that's referring to the CEO. That's right. The CEO and former CEO and founder. You know, it's a very long document. It's almost with the appendices. I think it's like 600, 700 pages. But it is extraordinarily damning.

"Of what the economy looks like, right? If they think it doesn't feel right, then they want it to be out of the data by experts calling it a recession. If they think it's okay and they don't know what everybody's going on about, they're happy that people say it's not. It was that your impression as well. Yes, actually you've summed up what most of them were saying. Like the language really doesn't matter, but what people are asking in short is what is going on. And what are we supposed to do as consumers as people who are in this economy, they just are not really concerned about the language, whether it's a recession or not, they just want to know what is going on and what is expected of us. And I think one of them must have said that their learning to humanize these stories, whereas for most of them, they were so used to writing for a niche audience. You know, they were writing for people who understood how stock market works. They were writing for people who actually understood the business. They used to intervene economies. They used to interview people who know how the Federal Reserve works. And they're used to giving that to their audience who they assume and understands that they are not so used to talking to ordinary people, even myself. But then now it's the ordinary people who are asking what is going on. And some of them admitted that they are struggling with language, they are struggling with packaging in a way that is going to be relevant to the people who are asking this question.

"NFL week 15 roundup. Saturday special. I'm Ben Thomas. Gotta just take these three games in order. Correspondent Tom mccabe reports the Vikings looked out of it at halftime, then made some NFL history with a victory over the colts. It's the biggest comeback in NFL history and it clinches the NFC north for the Vikings. Down 33 to nothing at halftime, Minnesota rally to beat the colts and overtime 39 to 36. Quarterback Kirk Cousins passed for 460 yards. Great to win, great to come back. I had no idea it was the largest NFL history. Something like that doesn't happen to average people. So I'm proud of the way the group did that. Receivers, KJ Osborne, and Justin Jefferson combined for 280 yards. Minnesota now 11 and three, the colts four 9 and one. I'm Tom mccabe. Next up, an AFC north battle where the ravens push for the division title suffered a setback in Cleveland. Craig heist is this one. Deshaun Watson threw for 161 yards and a touchdown winning his home debut as the browns upset the ravens 13 to three. Watson hit Donovan people's Jones with a three yard scoring pass in the third quarter capping off a 91 yard drive. He says the browns played well in all three phases, special teams, defense offense, played complimentary football as defensive way. We went against a great defense. You got to give them credit. But it was special to be able to get this video in front of the fans. The ravens rushed for 198 yards with JK dobbins, rushing for a 125. I'm Craig heist.

The Dallas Cowboys rallied to defeat the New York Giants 28 20 on Thanksgiving, overcoming a 13 7 deficit with 21 unanswered points in the second half. Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy says the cowboys time of possession keyed the win. Excellent division win game we had to have and I love the fire team and really what tried to break their method. And one thing I'm talking about is controlling the ball was a big focus for us today. That Prescott threw for 261 yards and two touchdowns the Dalton Schultz, CD lamb caught 6 for one O 6, while Daniel Jones threw for two 28 in a touchdown for the Giants. In Minnesota Kirk Cousins finds Adam Thielen in the end zone with 9 34 left to give the Vikings a 33 26 win over the Patriots, it was cousins third scoring strike of the game, just a phenomenal catch by him. I thought that the way he's able to catch that football, keep his feet in bounds. It just says a lot about his ability. One of the things he does really well is his body control and he's just overall athleticism and he showed it there. A great play by him.

Why Everyone Should Terminate Their PayPal Accounts
"PayPal comes out with their so called anti misinformation policy. Here we go again. And so many other tech platforms apparently PayPal thinks it is the job of a payment processing company to monitor misinformation. Wow. And this is the kicker PayPal set that if you abuse this policy against misinformation. By the way, let's look at what their definition of misinformation is. Some of it is unobjectionable. They talk about promoting illegal drug use or depicting explicit nudity or sexual activities promoting violence, criminal activity. I get all that. What I'm interested in debating that. But quote, you can't post things that are harmful or obscene. You can promote postings that depict promoter inside hatred or discrimination of protective groups, which are then specified groups based on quote protected characteristics. Such as religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, race. You can not promote information that is quote fraudulent. Or promotes misinformation. Now, some of this, as you can see, is very vague. And the definition of misinformation comes by and large from fact checking groups that themselves promote misinformation. And PayPal says that if you do this, they can take out $2500 from your account. What? So there was an uproar over this, and PayPal kind of backed up. And they said, oh, no, no, no, no, no, we sort of posted that in error. And then people noticed that shortly after the that died down, people thought, okay, if we PayPal has come to its senses, a papal PayPal repost the policy as if to say, well, now that we've kind of cooled you guys down, we're going to still do it. Wow. The former president of PayPal, David Marcus, he goes, he calls the policy quote insanity. He says, now a private company gets to decide to take your money. If you say something, they disagree with. So yeah, that's the heart of the issue right there.

"The voice you're hearing belong to a man named John Bennett. He worked at The New Yorker for more than 40 years. First, on the copy desk, then as an editor. But I added my instinct. A lot of editors overanalyze a piece. Tetris doesn't work for me. It's like a skating on thin ice and if you stop to think about it, you fall through. It just keeps going. So it's something a very instinctive editor. Unlike most, I think. John was unlike most in almost every way. The path he took to becoming a distinguished editor and beloved mentor to so many myself included was especially unusual. So a few months ago, when John was diagnosed with cancer, we decided to make this recording about his life and career. He got very sick, very fast. By the time we got to it, he was in the hospital. And he likes vanilla insure and he likes a little orange juice. We have the phone right there. We'll get it for you. You can order. Okay. Okay. An orange orange. Orange juice. And coffee in the morning. Not deny that. Tonight, that's about it. I did bring an insurance. Okay. That's Dana, John's wife. She got us situated, then left. So it was just John and me. He was in his bed wearing a hospital gown. But describing John in this circumstance seems undignified and certainly doesn't give you a picture of who he was in his element. Here's Nick palm garden who is one of John's writers. He was sort of stylishly slovenly, I guess. You know, he had either khakis or jeans really baggy sort of slung low, you know, an untucked button down shirt, usually blue, I mean, for all I know he had two of each and some old tennis sneakers, you know, he had this sort of laid back laconic aspect about him that once you got to know it a little better, it was extremely welcoming. It was that office being in his space, getting his attention. It was sort of a warm embrace. And I sort of increasingly over time, especially once he was my editor, I spent a lot of time in that office, and he had this chair. I think the chair I would sit in was an old, it was really deep. I mean, just sink into it. So, and then he'd be in his desk chair, and he'd spin around and happily just pass the time. Okay, so when did you start working at The New Yorker? On January of 1975. And what was your first position there? At the copy desk. The editor buys the piece. I bought the piece. And it went to the copy desk. And you weren't allowed to make any substitute changes. You're only allowed to do style changes in New Yorker style was very eccentric, every introductory clause has a comma. I just thought that weird 20 style. It took me 6 months with the style book to learn style. It was amazing. So I did that for a year or so. I remember being very surprised before I worked at The New Yorker hours of intense New York and creepy. And some of the talk stories I couldn't understand what was going on because they were just going along and suddenly stopping properly.

"Hi, welcome to the kicker. I'm Kyle Pope, editor and publisher of the Columbia journalism review. This week, covering the climate crisis and covering it better. So what is great coverage of the climate crisis look like? You would think that in the summer of 2022 with these record wildfires already underway and with years and years and years of scientific evidence of what we're facing now clear that newsrooms would have some consensus about the best way to approach this, but it turns out they don't. Do you focus on individuals and what they can do or do you focus on big companies and what they should be doing? Do approach it with fear or do you approach it with a sense of optimism and solutions? How is the best way to present solutions that people can use and respond to? So this is still an active conversation in journalism. And one of the things that people are looking for is models of great climate journalism that they could point to and maybe emulate. So that's one of the reasons why covering climate now, which is the global media collaborative that CJR helped found started the climate journalism awards. This is the second year. The new crop were announced earlier this month. We had 900 entries from around the world, and we picked 22 winners. And the idea is you can read these stories and you can look at what great climate journalism looks like. In addition to individual awards, we announced a climate journalist of the year for the first time, and I'm thrilled to be joined by this year's winner, Justin Warren from Time Magazine. Welcome. Thanks. Thanks so much for having me on, Kyle. And still honoring and flattered by the award. Yeah, congratulations, fantastic. Do you agree with my sentiment that there's still some unsettled sense in newsrooms and uncertainty about how to tackle the climate story? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I think there is a wide range of opinions about how to be doing this best and not a clear path forward to a consensus. So I mean, these are these are questions that I think are being debated and I think it's interesting that you raised a lot of the sort of almost either or questions, but I think what's interesting to me and I guess the way I would say I approach it is thinking about doing all of the above. It's important to cover those individual solutions, but also business solutions. It's important to think about climate and a whole bunch of different ways. But certainly to your question, these things are not settled. And is it fair to say that the sort of unspoken trap here is that too many newsrooms still see aggressive climate coverage as some kind of political move? Absolutely. I mean, I think it's changed a lot. I think that's one thing I would say. I mean, the way in which climate was covered 20 years ago, just as any sort of other political issue where you call up somebody on one side and call off someone on the other. I think those days are over. But having said that, I do think climate is perceived as being a cause as being something that a group of people that is particularly passionate about that issue is advocating for and not something that is really permeating throughout society throughout everything that we cover. And so I think there's a need to break through seeing climate as a political cause to seeing it as something that's actually just a part of everything. And I don't know that that understanding has really broken through. I think it's understood that climate change is real and that we can't call up a climate denier and quote them. But I don't know that it's understood that it's important enough that it should be more than seen as more than just a cause for the pet issue for a group of people. One of the things that worries me is that newsrooms are actually behind their audience on this. If you read polls after poll after poll, it says that people across the political spectrum are concerned about climate. And there's even a pretty broad consensus that people think that something should be done about it. And I'm wondering if the newsrooms are sort of out of touch where their audience is. I know that that's definitely true among younger readers and viewers. But what is your, I mean, you work for time, which is a pretty has a pretty broad spectrum of reaches. It's not seen as particularly ideological among its audience. I mean, do you get this kind of backlash that we're talking about? Yeah, well, I think the first thing I would say, I think there's this interesting sort of set that people have about what their audience wants and the kind of climate stories that they'll digest and that they'll want to read. And, you know, at my finding has been that audiences are interested in a wide range of issues on climate and I find that stories that I write, you know, I don't I'm not necessarily tracking the numbers on a daily basis, but sometimes I'll write a story on something that's incredibly wonky that I think anybody who's like, you know, traffic driven or thinking about how to find audience might say, oh, that's not something that people want to read. And then actually people will really engage with it. So I think there's a question about really trying to break away from the sort of preconceived notions about what audiences want to read and actually doing the work to write good stories.

I think with regard to ideological backlash, you know, I do think it's interesting, of course, as anybody who writes about climate, I get some backlash from people who are denying the science or who are ideologues. But I also have had quite an interesting experience, I think, in that I would say I have sources across the ideological spectrum. I do make an effort to talk to Republicans. I make an effort to talk to left wing activists and I write stories, I think that that really, I mean, I will often get notes that say, yeah, I mean, I disagree with some of the content of the story, but fundamentally you got it right.

"Hi, welcome to the kicker. I'm Kyle Pope. Editor and publisher of the Columbia journalism review. This week, coverage of the Supreme Court and abortion. So as we all now know in early May, Politico broke a scoop on the Supreme Court that the court had decided to overturn roe versus wade. And actually published a draft decision and an opinion that laid out the reasoning for that. It was the biggest scoop on the biggest story on the Supreme Court B and as we were thinking about this, we immediately thought the person that we want to hear from on this is Nina totenberg. Nina has been covering the Supreme Court for NPR for 5 decades. And has a ton of thought about what this means for the court, what it says about the country and how both are going to move forward now with its in the background. Nina, thank you so much for joining us. It's my pleasure..

"Hi, welcome to the kicker. I'm Kyle Pope, editor and publisher of the Columbia journalism review. This week, the new editor of The New York Times. So there are a few jobs in journalism that generate the amount of speculation and gossip as the executive editor of the times. We've known for months now that dean McKay, who's been in that job, would be stepping down because he turned 65 in the fall. And the only question was who is going to succeed him and would that result in a change of course? Of the newspaper. The times announced that Joe Kahn, who has been managing editor of the paper in the number two job, would be stepping up into beke's role. There's a widely held view that that is not going to result in major changes. To the place. And in fact, that fact that we shouldn't be expecting radical change has been disappointing to some people who think that especially in this moment of great peril in the democracy of America, we should be seeing bigger changes at a place like the times. I sat down with Joe Kahn and dean McKay on Thursday, two days after the announcement of cons hiring. And we talked about objectivity. We talked about wurtele. We talked about how they both see the newspaper and what it's become. Can you guys shed some light on how this process of picking a new editor works? It's completely opaque in my mind. Is there a committee or are there interviews? What happens? We bring the Cardinals together. I knew there was going to be a white smoke. No, it's the publisher's call. It's AG's call. And what I tried to do was in my commitment to him when I became the editor is that I would make sure there was a slate of candidates that people who he could sort of think through and get to know. And. There is no committee. It's essentially his call. And he spent a lot of time with Joe. Which Joe can talk about, and he spent a lot of time with some other leaders in the newsroom. Because I don't think he just thought about it. Nor did I as picking the next executive editor, obviously that's the most important and the most visible choice, but I also think he wanted to make sure there was a leadership team overall to lead the place into the next generation. And the only ad is it's, with AG, it's been much more I mean, it's a very thoughtful process. I mean, we even start to think about the next generation after just generation, which obviously Joe is going to be the one to nurture. But I mean, I think we just, he's just trying to identify a whole bunch of people who can lead the place going forward. But it's not any more mysterious than that. And when was when did all that start? When did those conversations begin in earnest?.

"I'm Kyle poo. Editor and publisher of the Columbia journalism review. This week, more on the coverage of Ukraine. So we're recording this on Monday and we've seen a weekend and now 5 days of intense Russian attacks on Ukraine, especially on the biggest cities in Ukraine. There's been some amazing journalism that's come out of this. Amazing reporting by people on the ground. But as Russian troops get closer and the danger ratchets up, there's an obvious question for journalists about how dangerous is too dangerous and do you stay or do you go and where can you be most effective if you're going to be covering this complex? This week I talked to two reporters on the ground in Ukraine who have been wrestling with this decision. Both have decided to leave the most dangerous areas they were in. And both have in their own way sort of wrestled with this decision. So I would start off with a conversation with Eleanor Beardsley, who is reporting in Ukraine for NPR, Eleanor and I talked a few weeks ago after she'd covered the French president's visit with Putin. She's been to Ukraine and now she had been back in Ukraine and I spoke to her as she was in the car on her way to the Hungarian border to get out of the country. Can you hear me? Yeah, go ahead. Okay, now just anyway, I'm heading out today, so. You're in a car with an NPR colleague. Yes, and we're trying to get us out through Hungary. So we're driving through the carpentry and mountains. We're catching a bus to the Hungarian border. We're going to walk across and catch another class to Budapest and hopefully I'll have my flight to Paris tomorrow. How far is the walk? I don't know. We just have to walk over the border. I don't think it's too far, but I don't think it's well, I don't know, actually, I have no idea there could be tons of people just want the border crossings. We're going to find out. We're just trying to get our bus to get there. And then we'll find out it might be very crowded, but it's supposed to be less crowded than Poland. And where were you before this? Okay, before we went to Kyiv on Friday, I want to say 18th. And that's been a couple of days in Kyiv, then I went east to the donbas. And I went right up against the separatist republic in small towns like ten miles from the front line. I ended up not going in the trenches or anything like that, but I was in the east. And then on drive out of there I went to harkey spent one night and that's when the invasion started the next morning. Recent one night in hockey, then my husband called me a three 30 in the morning from Paris and just where are you because CNN is reporting that cooking is going to invade harkey. And I said, oh, I'm in hockey. It's kind of a horrible feeling. And then and then I spent the entire day, so we decided to. As soon as that war declaration might sound like we'd be seeing a few got a little declares war, blah blah blah. I heard the explosions. It was just like chilling because you know that it was starting. And then the entire day trying to, but we decided to get out instead of hunker down. We didn't think they'd start challenge let's just get out of here and we left at 5 30 in the morning. I was the reporting before you left. How did you find the mood of the people? How did you go about doing your job? Oh, well, I was in this village. And I had even amazing. It was a village that was virtually occupied by the statistics and the mayor of this and only like three months understood that this occupation day is horrible like the journalists felt threatened people felt. It was just a terrible time and many things were destroyed. We were houses and fighting. In Ukrainian army took it back and everybody was very glad, but they were close to wind on it. So they were close as they would never want to live under that. And I'm going to do a story about that. That was my next big feature. Invasion came in the next morning, I spent the whole day there and drove out and the invasion came. I reached some of the people a couple of those later and hadn't been invited yet, but I have been able to reach them and I fear that they're not, I mean, yeah, because the republic isn't enlarged to try to take all of the DOM bias and then the attack is on for hockey even few years and then up from the.

"And in general, the coverage of sexual abuse victims. At the end of December, as everybody knows, it's really Maxwell was convicted of 5 federal sex trafficking charges. After a jury in New York, concluded that she played a pivotal part in recruiting and grooming teenage girls to be sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein. A Maxwell was found guilty of 5 of the 6 federal counts he was charged with and faces up to 65 years in prison sentencing hearing is not yet been held. The trial and the way it was conducted raise all kinds of important questions for journalists about how sexual assault victims are treated in the justice system by lawyers, by their own jury, and all of this is now being discussed in light of this very high profile trial. I'm really pleased to be joined today by two journalists who have followed this closer than anybody. Julie K Brown is an investigative reporter within Miami Herald, who is the reporter who first brought Jeffrey Epstein's crimes to light. Her work includes the heralds 2018 series examining how he managed to arrange secret plea deal and escape life in prison, even though he was a suspected of sexually abusing more than a hundred underage girls and young women. The chia Osborne Crowley is a London based journalist, a lawyer and a reporter for law 360. She's covered the Maxwell trial for forthcoming book and documentary and she's the author of my body keeps your secrets, which tells the story of a young woman's body in the age of social media. Julie and Lucia, thank you so much for being here. Thanks for having us. Thank you so much for having us. It's such a pleasure. It's a real honor to be here with both of you. Before we get into the core of this question, just give me your sense. We were talking before we started recording this conversation just about what it was like covering this trial in New York and how hard it was and how hard it was especially for a journalist doing this. Julie, give me a sense of what it was like day to day. Covering this in Lower Manhattan. Well, I've covered, you know, I've been doing this for 30 plus years and I've covered many, many trials both in state courts and federal courts, including federal courts in New York. And I have to say this is probably the worst experience I've ever had in my career covering a trial. I just think it was complicated in part by the fact that we were in the throes of COVID. I think that that aggravated the situation. But beyond that, I think that there was this unnecessary chaos, given the fact that this trial had been planned for so long, I think that everything was completely unorganized, especially in the beginning for the first few weeks of the trial and that nobody knew where to go, even people running the courthouse didn't know where to tell people to go. We were told one thing one day and another thing another day. So it was, as I said, it was probably my worst experience covering a case in my 30 plus years of journalism. What did you make of it? Yeah. Well, I completely agree with Julie. I mean, I was really, I was genuinely very, very shocked by this..

"So the drum beats are getting louder and louder that may force news organizations that took the steel dossier, which was this collection of allegations about Trump and Russia took it seriously. Last week, The Washington Post announced that it was cutting some stories and editors knows on stories about some of their coverage of the basically admitting that they're reporting was flawed that the source that they were light on was unreliable. There are hints of more of these sort of reckonings to come. And it sort of the whole thing raises questions about the media's coverage of Trump of Trump and Russia and the dossier as this kind of symbol of all that was wrong there. It's super complicated. There are a lot of parties. There are a lot of legal actions. There's indictments with investigations, which is why I'm so happy to be joined today by Eric limbo media critic for The Washington Post. And Marcy Wheeler, a writer who writes for a blog empty wheel net, who have both followed this in incredible detail and are going to help us sort through it all. Welcome Eric mercy. I want to start with a question that I tried to sort of frame in a piece that suggested this week, which was, why is it, is it your sense, it's my sense of it's taken a long time for there to be a sort of a broader media sense that this document is fatally flawed and really start holding news organizations to account. Is that your sense as well and why do you think it's taken as long as it has marcie let's start with you. I think for one, because the issue got so polarized, so. For Republicans, the entirety of the Russian investigation is the dossier. For normal people, we have undercover. And as a deliberate way to undercut there's abundant reason to believe that was the entire point of any disinformation in it. Paul Manafort came back from a meeting with Oli da paska deputy and told rent's priebus, we're going to undercut the Russian investigation by talking about the dossier full time. And that is exactly what has happened for four years leading up to the derm investigation, which led up to this indictment. So that's what the Republican Party has been doing relentlessly ever since..

"Welcome to the kicker kyle pope editor and publisher of the columbia journalism review this week coverage of the supreme court so we are in the midst of some momentous supreme court cases more to come at it sort of shine a light on the press corps that covers the court. The court has all always seemed to me to be kind of opaque mysterious thing And the coverage sort of reflects that i mean there is a sense of like of like a whispering trained understand the smell the smoke is it rises up and trying to read it and and you get the sense that we're not maybe getting the whole picture but maybe we are. I don't know so. I am thrilled to be able to have a chat. With jay willis whose the editor in chief of balls and strikes which is the site launch last month. It has support from a nonprofit group called demand justice and it promises bullshit. Free commentary which is in quotes about the legal system jay. Welcome hey thanks for having me and great. Now i know i can swear you can swear yes So i wanted to have this talk because what's going on. Supreme court is sort of on a continuum with some other things going on in the country including you know what is going on with trump. how big of a threat is he still. What's going on with The kind of dalton right how big of a threat is that still in. What's going on in the supreme core in the big question around all this stuff is always like okay. Well how scared should we be. And i don't sometimes. I don't know the answer to that and so i thought i wanted to ask you that but then i read a piece that you wrote last month about the media's mischaracterization mischaracterization from gordon and i sorta got the answer but tell me how do you think about how scared we'd be about about the court sort of current stance and and how is that being. Is that being fairly represented media. I mean the shortest answer to the question. How scared would should we be is in my view. Very you have developing sort of on a parallel track with the right word lurch of republican politics. I would say over the last forty years but especially over. The last ten has been a concerted effort by conservatives to take over the supreme court to take over the federal judiciary and that project sort of reached. Its apex last year. With the confirmation of justice amy coney barrett so with this six six to three conservative supermajority on the court. This is the most conservative court since the great depression. It's on the verge of being able to rollback decades of progress and fundamentally reshape significant swaths of not just american law but like day to day american life. I do not feel that. This is being represented accurately in the media..

How to cover excess and vulgarity in media so you will have seen coverage of the met ball partly because of a tax. The rich dress. That alexandrio has cortez war but also an attempt by several other people to kind of bring activism into the space and the bigger issue is like. How does journalism right about this. Moment that we're in which is characterized by the most extreme wealth inequality in the history of the country. My view is that it hasn't been doing very well. So i figured what better person to talk to you about this than larry fink. Larry is a amazingly renowned photographer with an art photographer in the magazine photographer and commercial photographer but he became really well known for his photographs of the met gala. The ban deeper oscar party and he had found a way to photograph these people in their kind of opulent settings while also commenting on the ridiculousness of and the incongruity of i spoke with larry from you from his farmhouse in pennsylvania.

"Be starving and so a lot of employers in different sectors deliberately one about diminishing the power of labor unions and this took place in a number of ways. Some of this was when there was a big trend in finance of mergers and acquisitions a big company or bank really would take over a number of others and they would lay a lot of people often reorganize everything and you know get rid of the union et cetera et cetera. That was a cost. Cutting measure right so called profit making sure we could save the other point of view right so a lot of people lost their jobs that way and what happened in some industries that those processes took place was that the unions were weakened. Sometimes they were destroyed and there were huge. Wage cuts and a lot of older workers left those jobs. So in some industries like in meat packing the employers relocated meatpacking plants from urban areas in the midwest like chicago or minneapolis and saint paul and move them to more remote locations where unions were not strong like iowa and nebraska and then they started to recruit immigrants and sometimes refugees to work in those factories. So it wasn't that the immigrants just came and replaced the older white workers. There had a restructuring that took place where the older native born workers left those positions or pushed out. You could say the same thing happened in commercial janitorial services big office buildings commercial buildings in downtown areas like in los angeles where the employers broke the union right and shifted to subcontracting work. Right so those jobs have previously been held by african americans and then when the unions were broken and they went to subcontracting. Then you saw latino workers in those jobs and what's interesting if you compare. La to new york city where the union was not broken right. The union in new york is famous the sea youth. Thirty two bj. That's one of the strongest unions in new york city. They represent building workers not just building cleaners but also doormen and other building workers and that union actually did not suffer the same fate as building workers did in los angeles so new york. You have a union. That's actually quite diverse. The older black and white workers were not pushed out but as the city grew more and more other workers of color joined the union and they were able to keep their wages on par. So that also happened construction. And i don't know the story about washington dc specifically but. I suspect it's a similar stories that happened in new york where the construction trade unions really took a beating right and subcontracting became the favourite method of hiring. We've been talking about immigrants coming here but rarely do we talk about immigrants having to leave someplace they also have to leave a place. There are factors that also pushed that we've clung to this american dream narrative and the notion that economic migrants a either. Wanna come in mooch or be the are gonna come take american workers jobs but can we talk about the push factors. You know no salvador. It was the war. Vietnam was a war. There was a us role in both of those conflicts. But what are other pieces of the story. That aren't getting as much attention historically but also today the really important thing to think about. Because i think it's true what you said that people don't come to america just to mooch as use put it as we said earlier. They're both economic and political factors. Why people move right now. I think we also have to think about climate change. Part of the crisis in central america right now has to do with the devastation of hurricanes and parts of the world. Climate is really causing huge refugee problems. I mean these people are not even showing up in the united states where they are remaining. They remain in the global south in refugee camps. So climate i think is a big reason but i think in general i would say two things i i think as as people who believe in human rights we have to uphold the right to move but we also should uphold the right to stay right we should. We should hope that people have conditions in their homes in their home countries where they can have a decent life that just decent life a meaningful life and then they can pursue their dreams and ambitions without having to undertake perilous journeys or cross borders at great risk to their lives. So we also have to think about why is it that so many parts of the world have conditions such that people feel they have to move in order to have a decent or meaningful life and so this is a problem of in a very general way because as a problem of the unequal distribution of wealth throughout the world right. That's one way to look at it. Another is to look at it in terms of uneven not just unequal but also uneven development so for example in the nineteen seventies and eighties when there was a lot of migration from south korea taiwan other parts of east asia mostly. What was going on. Was that those countries were developing very rapidly and there were and more opportunities for higher education. But there weren't enough professional jobs for highly trained people so you had a mismatch right. You didn't have an alignment in terms of labor market supply and demand and there are also people from korea and hong kong taiwan who were able to come to the united states for advanced study and then had to say well where are they going to pursue their their professional careers. And so it wasn't until later that those economies really grew right that when we had the phenomenon of the so-called asian tigers right there were then many more jobs for professionally trained people right and technical jobs and now you have an interesting phenomenon. In the twenty first century where asian americans people born on its states actually moved back to asia because there are more job opportunities there and less discrimination even so a lot of chinese americans who feel frustrated that they cannot really advance in corporate world or if at the finance world a have gone back to china where there were there have been a lot of opportunities right because it's a economy where it's really on the make you see a similar thing. Were recently in africa where college educated professionals often don't have enough opportunities in their countries. So you have more professional migration from certain african countries to the united states and that's actually ironic because they were able to take advantage of the immigration lottery system that was set up in nineteen ninety. That's why where you see. An increase in of african migration is assume that because that was not meant for africa. That was meant for it to get more white people to come to america. So i think you know. There's both the unequal distribution of wealth. There's uneven economic development and parts of the world that create conditions where people make decisions about where they think they and their families will be able to have a better situation for themselves. And then you haven't the other end of the scale..
