Description

Reporter Sammy Roth of Climate Colored Goggles joins Court Accountability Action’s Lisa Graves to discuss (and mourn) the Washington Post’s gutting of its climate desk in its widespread layoffs. What does it mean for the Post to shed vital coverage, and what does it mean for the climate beat to lose an integral paper? Sammy and Lisa also talk about the wider backdrop of billionaires—like Post publisher Jeff Bezos—reshaping legacy media companies to adapt to the second Trump administration. “Breaking: Washington Post gutting its climate team” https://www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/washington-post-climate-bezos Climate Colored Glasses: https://www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/ https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/lisa-graves/without-precedent/9781645030676/ Sammy on Twitter: https://x.com/Sammy_Roth?lang=en Court Accountability Action Linktree: https://linktr.ee/courtaccountability Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@LegalAFMTN?sub_confirmation=1 Become a member of Legal AF YouTube community: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJgZJZZbnLFPr5GJdCuIwpA/join Become a member of the Legal AF Substack: https://michaelpopok.substack.com/20off Follow Legal AF on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/legalafmtn.bsky.social Follow Michael Popok on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/mspopok.bsky.social Subscribe to the Legal AF podcast feed here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/legal-af-by-meidastouch/id1580828595 Subscribe to the Intersection with Michael Popok podcast feed here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-intersection-with-michael-popok/id1818863274 Subscribe to Unprecedented with Michael Popok and Dina Doll podcast feed here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unprecedented-by-legal-af/id1867023089 Subscribe to Court of History with Sidney Blumenthal and Sean Wilentz podcast feed here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-court-of-history/id1867022920

Media doesn't need many employees to just say "The dictator is great". It's time to END media bias. If a billionaire wants to buy a news outlet...fine. If they want it to influence elections to benefit them...that's gotta stop. You simply cannot look at Fox or Newsmax and see them as anything other than propaganda. Freedom of the voter to make an informed choice, MUST supercede freedom of the press. Always and forever. How can you call yourself a democracy, when voters vote based on "information" they got from a source with a vested interest in making them vote for the party that will tax the company's billionaire owner less?
