An article by Will Bunch in the Philadelphia Inquirer argues that the news media is a threat to democracy by using "cowardly words" to describe political developments. The piece suggests that journalists should abandon traditional objectivity in favor of activism to combat perceived fascism. The hosts criticize this call for overt propaganda in mainstream reporting.

The New York Times and Philadelphia Inquirer recently forced out top editors following internal newsroom revolts over controversial content, such as an op-ed by Senator Tom Cotton. Critics on the Lou Dobbs show characterized these moves as "human sacrifice" to appease a "craven and cowardly" mob of activist journalists. The hosts argue that mainstream media has become indistinguishable from the Black Lives Matter movement's party line.
