Episode 14: Political Media

Our current events for this episode: The first Republican primary debate Wildfires in Hawaii New research out of MIT that could be huge for renewable energy storage Woman shot and killed over flying the pride flag A group of six cops performing hate crimes Minneapolis avoiding the worst of inflation because of its liberal housing policies A lawsuit against FINRA that could threaten any and all self-regulating government bodies Joe Biden's SAVE plan for people with student loans The Trump team floating a 10% tariff on all imports Our deep dive this week is on political media. Whether you like it or not, all of us are influenced by the media we consume. That's probably more true in politics than anywhere else. We discuss the history of political media, how it has become so partisan, how and why that polarizes us, and whether consuming political media makes us unhappy. #politics #liberal #currentevents #biden #economy #republican #debate #hawaii #research #mit #trump #inflation #housing #media #partisan
