    EXTRA EXTRA Crossover: The Billionaires Who Are Killing Journalism

    EXTRA EXTRA Crossover: The Billionaires Who Are Killing Journalism

    Rich white men and the newspapers they buy to feed their own egos… name a more iconic duo. But what’s different about this generation of wealthy media moguls? In honor of the end of HBO's Succession, and in the wake of VICE Media declaring bankruptcy, what better time to examine the individuals who are getting rich off their media empires... and killing journalism in the proess.
    In this throwback episode of EXTRA EXTRA from October, 2022, Sami Sage takes us on a tour of the many publishing-billionaires in power today and the media properties they wield to further their own agendas. From traditional publications like the New York Times and Washington Post, to new digital behemoths like Facebook and Google, she tells us why media consolidation among the elites poses a threat to journalism as we know it.

Big fan! - maybe slow to the new formatting

Updating below review, was previously 5 stars but I think a few new things are tricky for me and I’m basically updating this to communicate with the network!

Still love it- maybe not listening to it so much anymore? I’m considering unsubscribing just so it doesn’t automatically pop up on my dashboard and I can electively listen on my own time.

This is a personal like preference… I don’t like listener mail. I always skip the episodes with other podcasts and I just don’t vibe with it, so including an episode of all listener mail… idk.

I always vibed that this literally felt like listening to like 3 friends just talking about the news, but lately, there’s been an emphasis on interviews and listener participation and it’s just not what I liked about this particular podcast.

Anyway below is my og review.

I stand by if you don’t like Milly you’re maybe racist and if you don’t like vocal fry you’re probably sexist.

Love it! Big fan! Listener since 2017... maybe 2018? Who knows. Seeing the negative reviews… Maybe if you’re specifically attacking the 2 POC hosts in reviews, you have to work through some structural racist bias. Maybe if millennial vocal fry is “grating” you’re a little sexist. Please think through your internal bias before writing reviews.

So good - please make bonus (subscriber) content!!

So funny and informative. One of my favorite political/pop culture pods. I want more!!!!! Would love some bonus episodes and would defo pay a couple bucks a month for them! All of the hosts are so funny. Amanda brings excellent info and laughs, Alise’s commentary is so witty and hilarious, and Milly cracks me up constantly and her discussions of fat acceptance and anti diet culture info are really, truly appreciated as someone who has long struggled with an eating disorder.
