from Mea Culpa · host Podcast WABCRadio

Michael Cohen takes a hard look at the forces shaping today’s political and media landscape, arguing that fear, speculation, and partisan sensationalism too often replace evidence and accountability. Cohen is joined by Dr. Marc Siegel to examine transparency around the origins of COVID-19 and questions surrounding childhood vaccination schedules. Strategist Doug Schoen weighs Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s potential as a major 2028 Democratic contender and what the party’s leftward shift could mean for the next presidential race.
