#57 Former CNN Anchor on Cancel Culture, Media Control, and Finding Truth in Journalism | Rick Sanchez

If ratings don’t determine who keeps their job in mainstream media, then what does? Veteran journalist Rick Sanchez pulls back the curtain on his experiences at CNN, Fox News, and MS Now, revealing how pharmaceutical companies and defense contractors don’t just buy advertising, but actually sit on network boards. After being canceled before “cancellation” was even a term, he explains the mathematical impossibility of networks with shrinking audiences maintaining massive budgets without outside influence shaping their narratives.  Learn what Wharton Business School will never teach you!  Sign up for the ANTI-MBA today: https://bit.ly/46vct60 Click here to order your personalized poster!: https://bit.ly/46J08MS Get Rick Sanchez’ book, “Conventional Idiocy: Why the New America is Sick of Old Politics“ here: https://bit.ly/4jM7SCU Listen to "Journalistically Speaking with Rick Sanchez" on all your favorite platforms!
