Batya Ungar-Sargon, Woke Media, Class Divide
Author Batya Ungar-Sargon discusses her book "How Woke Media Is Undermining Democracy" on Bill Maher's show. She argues that journalism has shifted from a working-class trade to an elite profession, leading journalists to use racial "moral panics" to distract from economic class divides and income inequality.
Recent polls show 52% of UK voters favor leaving the European Union (Brexit). The hosts argue that these polls are often "fundraising exercises" for the media and that the "stay" side, which has more money, will likely prevail despite the current numbers.
The hosts conclude the extensive list of $50 donors, featuring listeners from South Korea, Belgium, and New Zealand. In response to a listener's question, they confirm that the No Agenda show is their full-time job and primary source of income, made possible entirely through the "Value-for-Value" model. They express gratitude for the overwhelming support that "fixed January" financially.
Incoherent Public Speaking on American Incomes
A clip of an unidentified speaker struggling to explain American income data is used to highlight the poor quality of public discourse. The speaker repeatedly hems and haws, failing to reach a coherent point despite discussing a critical economic subject. The segment serves as a critique of the "experts" often given platforms in media and government.
