Progressive Media in a Red State

from Frogmore Stew · host The Alliance Coalition

What happens when local news stops calling lies lies and starts softening the truth? In this conversation, journalist Deanna Pan joins Frogmore Stew to talk about media bias, editorial pressure, and why progressive journalism in South Carolina matters more than ever. From Trump coverage and the refusal to use words like racist, to the collapse of local watchdog reporting and the need for independent Substack voices, this is a candid look at how headlines shape public understanding. If you care about South Carolina politics, media accountability, and building progressive media in a red state, pull up a chair.
