- Politics
Discover the seismic shifts in media over four transformative decades as we sit down with Peter Bernard, a seasoned TV reporter who's seen it all. From the golden age of unbiased journalism embodied by Walter Cronkite to today's opinion-laden newsrooms headlined by figures like Tucker Carlson and Rachel Maddow, Peter reveals how the narrative has changed. Together, we grapple with the repercussions of these changes on society's growing divide and the quest for truth amidst a cloud of skepticism around voting technologies and the integrity of our news.
As our conversation unfolds, we peel back layers of the political system that are seldom discussed, dissecting the potential for reform in a landscape marred by misinformation and anonymity. Peter provides a deep dive into the influence of primaries, the Electoral College, and the possibility of introducing term limits to refresh the halls of Congress and the Supreme Court. His insights, shaped by a career of holding the powerful to account, shed light on the nuanced and often surprising effects of political reporting.
Switching lanes, we rev up the energy with a Tesla enthusiast who's transformed his passion for electric vehicles into a community-building endeavor. His firsthand account takes us from the rush of the Model Y's acceleration to the intricacies of Tesla's software updates. Traffic law enforcement, the magnetism of Elon Musk, and the intersection of technology and safety all come under the spotlight. Join us for a riveting journey through the evolving realms of media, politics, and technology, and witness stories that resonate with the heartbeat of our times.
