'BradCast' 12/10/2024 (Guest: Veteran media reporter Paul Farhi on Trump's landslide win in 'news deserts')
12-10-2024 (53.17 MB)
On today's 'BradCast': 'News deserts' are areas where local newspapers have disappeared, and new research shows that the ongoing, rapid decline in local news sources played a disturbing role in the 2024 presidential election. Although Donald Trump barely won the election with a razor-thin margin, in 'news deserts' he won by a landslide. Former Washington Post media reporter PAUL FARHI explains the findings of the new 2024 State of Local News report from Northwestern University, which details how 'news deserts' came about, and how they increase political polarization, impact voters' choices in elections, and much more. A Justice Department Inspector General's new report shows how the first Trump Administration' abused surveillance powers to spy on members of Congress and staff, journalists, and Kash Patel, Trump's nominee to head the FBI. A major fire is tearing through Malibu, CA. Plus Desi Doyen has our new 'Green News Report.'
