The hosts review a 2018 clip of Megyn Kelly on NBC promoting "The Gender Cool Project" and interviewing transgender children. They contrast her past supportive stance with her current anti-trans rhetoric, suggesting that media figures often shift their public positions based on who is paying their contracts. This is presented as an example of the inherent dishonesty and "pay-to-play" nature of mainstream media personalities.
Joy Reid criticized wealthy Democrats for "defenestrating" President Biden, warning of dire consequences under "Project 2025," including claims of "Trump stormtroopers" shooting protesters. Speculation suggests Reid may be facing a potential firing or demotion as part of a broader media shakeup at MSNBC and CNN.
Project Veritas filed a lawsuit against its founder, James O'Keefe, alleging breach of fiduciary duty and financial misconduct. O'Keefe, who was removed from the organization in early 2023, has since launched the O'Keefe Media Group. The legal battle highlights a deep internal conflict between the board of directors and the organization's original leadership.
James O'Keefe's recent attempts to track down marketing executives at hotels are criticized as lacking substance and being "inconsequential." While O'Keefe's work with Project Veritas famously dismantled ACORN, critics argue that his efforts have had little long-term impact on the political landscape. The discussion suggests that his current "O'Keefe Media Group" is failing to produce meaningful reveals.
A trend of "F*** Joe Biden" chants at college football games and concerts is noted as a sign of growing public dissatisfaction. Additionally, James O'Keefe of Project Veritas claims that a growing number of "fed-up insiders" are joining his organization as whistleblowers.
Project Veritas CNN Tape, Media Bias Revelation
A new Project Veritas recording features a CNN employee admitting the network worked to prevent Donald Trump's re-election. The individual in the recording suggests that "grassroots podcasts" are currently the most unbiased source of news.
Project Veritas released recordings of CNN's internal morning editorial calls, featuring President Jeff Zucker. The tapes reveal editors discussing how to link the presidential transition delay to the national security failures cited in the 9/11 Commission Report. The hosts argue this demonstrates how media narratives are manufactured and pushed through corporate hierarchies.
Magnetic Tape Preservation, Ampex 2-Inch Forehead Tapes
The preservation of 1960s-era Ampex 2-inch forehead tapes presents technical challenges, including the scarcity of working playback machines and the risk of magnetic "crosstalk." Experts noted that while the tapes are durable, they require specific environmental controls to remain viable.
A new undercover video from Project Veritas features Desiree Hsu, a senior staff editor at NewYorkTimes.com, discussing internal bias against President Trump and Vice President Pence. In the recording, Hsu describes the president as an "oblivious idiot" and suggests that journalists write about the administration's "insanity" to influence public opinion. The hosts debate the ethics of "off-the-record" conversations in undercover reporting.
A Project Veritas undercover video features a CNN producer calling American voters "stupid as shit" and describing President Trump as a "clown." The hosts critique the audio quality of the recording while discussing the implications of the producer's candid remarks about the network's internal views.
The release of Project Veritas CNN Leaks Part 1 is analyzed with skepticism regarding its impact. The recordings, dating back to 2009, are described as potentially outdated and likely to contain standard newsroom banter rather than modern political smoking guns. Expectations for the leaks include eye-rolling, blatant favoritism, and locker-room talk among television executives.
Ground Truth Project, Global Post Funding Sources
The Global Post is supported by the "Ground Truth Project," which receives funding from major organizations including the Ford Foundation, the Henry Luce Foundation, and the Kaiser Family Foundation. CEO Philip Balboni, a veteran media executive with ties to the Hearst Corporation and NECN, oversees these partnerships. This high-level financial backing contrasts with the "rinky-dink" appearance of the Global Post's public-facing news operations.
John C. Dvorak discusses his involvement in a new show titled "Generation X3" featuring millennial co-hosts. He also mentions a potential future collaboration with Molly Wood on a non-tech related program.
The media's intense focus on Kanye West's interruption of Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards is characterized as a deliberate distraction from international financial instability. Claims are made that West appeared to be under "mind control" or heavily medicated during his subsequent appearance on Jay Leno. This narrative suggests the event was leveraged to keep the public from noticing more significant global events.
The Disclosure Project is a proposed initiative to force transparency in journalism by listing the political and religious affiliations of media contributors. The concept involves a wiki-based system where the public can document a writer's background, allowing readers to evaluate content based on potential biases. While controversial among professional journalists, the project aims to address the perceived lack of accountability in the Fifth Estate.
