Ballots, bias and big tech

This week, The Media Show broadcasts from Washington DC, and asks what the election tells us about the media's role in modern America. The Washington Post finds itself at the heart of a debate on media impartiality after a reported loss of thousands of subscribers following its decision not to endorse a candidate. NPR's media correspondent, David Folkenflik, joins us to unpack the unfolding crisis. With tech billionaires wielding significant influence, this election has seen figures like Elon Musk openly backing Donald Trump. Critics argue that big tech’s sway over public discourse has become too potent. Jennifer Huddleston, a senior fellow in technology policy at the Cato Institute, and Marietje Schaake, a former MEP now with Stanford’s Cyber Policy Center, debate the issues. For over 170 years, the Associated Press has been at the forefront of election coverage, calling winners across the nation. Anna Johnson, AP’s Washington bureau chief, explains how it does what might be "the single largest act of journalism in the world". Also on the show, Lauren Egan, White House reporter for Politico, talks Ros through her job and what access she gets to the President. And David A Kaplan, former Newsweek legal affairs expert, reflects on the 2000 election—a time when the relationship between the media, the candidates and the public looked very different. Presented by: Ros Atkins Produced by: Simon Richardson Assistant Producer: Lucy Wai Sound: Ben Martin

Glad to see you challenge that disgraceful vulture. He wouldn’t stop talking over you to try to get out his fake defense of pretty much everything he’s done. He can’t stop himself but intelligent listeners know his tactics. Let’s not mistake what he does as journalism. He’s certainly entitled to his opinions and we are entitled not to watch. He is pure evil.
Wholesale Left Wing Bias

I knew the BBC was left wing but this program is unlistenable to anyone from the center of politics, particularly as it tries to cover the US…it’s always the same diatribe of leftist tropes. Now they’re doubling dow by repeatedly interviewing Brian Stelter…the fired CNN executive and serial left wing narcissist. I wonder though, do the presenters of this think they’re balanced or have the just swallowed the cool aid?

There is a dearth of information on the subject of media in broadcasting. The BBC has the best of it here but only for a short half hour per week. For that reason the show is rushed. It is worth at least 45 minutes and I believe a full hour. No one is devoting any time to this subject. How about it ... Only the BBC can do this and you should.
