Speaker 1 (00:43):
And I love the topic of conversation. You're give me
doing an empower You seminar tonight seven pm. Log in

establishment media has destroyed itself and we can't stop smiling.
With a great headline for the topic, and it's true.
The polling reflects that no one trusts the mainstream media,

(01:04):
and it's like, finally it's sunk in that we're all
being lied to and this big left wing, uniform reporting
mechanism that is the mainstream media these days, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN,
et cetera. They all spend the same tune in quite
often it's a collective group of lies to the American people.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Yeah, it's true, and it is a great title for
the talk. I'm only the headline guy, but our friend
Elizabeth Warren actually wrote that one, so she gets the
shout out on that, which is which is pretty fun. No,
but it's one of these things where sometimes if you've
ever achieved a goal ie. I've never ran a marathon,
but I imagine a lot of marathon runners feel this way.
I kind of feel this way sometimes if I finish

(01:47):
a book, it's the what would you do with yourself
with your time? That's a little bit what we're going
through right now with bright Bart when it comes to
the establishing media, because we have been spending of the
many foes we've tried to take on in the sixteen
seventeen years or so that we the cinth Andrew Biper
launched his family of group blogs, which was what it

(02:09):
was at the start. Our number one supervillain was always
the establishment media, and now they're so disgraced, they're so discredited.
Everyone just makes fun of them all the time. They're
such an embarrassment that it really is time for a
reset and where we are because they've never been so
weak in my entire career in journalism, and it is
a absolute delight. I'm so happy it is that way.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
Well as am I and I guess you have to
wonder how it is we got from response to what
we call responsible journalism, sort of you know, reporting the
facts but not offering an editorial commentary. Now it's become
constant twenty four to seven commentary, but it's all from
the left side of the Ledger, or the vast majority
of it. I don't want to paint with the too
broad of a brush. I do recognize there is some

(02:50):
conservative commentary out there, but for the most part, it's
what we're talking about now. This is a consequence, I
would argue, of the product of college education and the
left in doctrination camp that K through twelve has become
as well, they're going to churn out left wing journalism
degrees and with that in mind, and you can feel
free to disagree with me when I finally let you talk.

(03:12):
But what is it to have a journalism degree? Now
that we have the Internet, I can go online and
I can post observations, factual observations. I could go to
a council meeting and report what the council members have said.
Am I not a journalist in some regard? What does
it mean that a journalism agree? And why are they
sort of special you know, gets special treatment. We're all

(03:35):
journalists in the same language.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
And then this is the language that Andrew Breitbart would
have been very happy to hear about may rest in peace,
because he had spoken about this quite a bit. He
was not a trained journalist, nor was his original boss, Matrodge,
and they became two of the most famous and effective
journalists in the history of the country, not just in

(03:58):
modern history, but in the history of the country. And
without having studied it. I mean, we all have a
reverence for good journalism. And I'm not saying there aren't
classically trained people who are good journalists. Of Matt Boyle,
one of my met reporters, did go to study journalism.
So it's not like they around people at Breitbart's staff
who don't take the craft of journalism seriously. But overall,
when you've got the combination of a smartphone in your

(04:20):
pocket and now with AI, which probably poses more risks
than the guaranteed benefits, but it is like a junior
or senior researcher in your pocket that's able to help
you sort out what actually is true and what actually
is going on in a record of speed. You do

(04:43):
not need any journalism degree, and in fact, if you're
spending money on it, you're probably wasting the money, and
you're spending a lot of time getting indoctrinated by left
wing activists who are trying to mold.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
You exactly, But honestly, that someone could go in let's
say politically neutral into college and come out the other
side a left wing activist that suggests that that person
is not capable of critical thinking, logic, and reason, that
they're a mold of clay, that they allowed themselves to
be molded into some college professor or collective group of

(05:13):
college professor's image.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, well, this is what the schools, and this isn't
just JA schools, it's law schools. I mean, it's really
even schools and heart sciences. It attracts the type of
people to the profession of teaching that want to indoctrinate people.
It's what it is, and it's when these people want
to indoctrinate other people. It is a risk for families

(05:38):
that are thinking of sending their children there, and it's
a risk for you as young people who are impressionable.
Just know that they're there specifically to change your mind
on stuff, and so you need to be very cautious.
And a lot of people when they enter these schools
when they're eighteen or nineteen years old, they just don't
have that maturity to discern that there's probably a lot
of good information in this class. But the person who
is talking to me might be a good person, it

(06:00):
might be an interesting person. They will presumably be at
least a somewhat knowledgeable person, but they're trying to mold
you into something. So what are they trying to mold
you into? And all the evidence suggests from decades of
history that left wing activists is what they're trying to
mold and it's time to reject it. But the good
news is it feels like we finally are.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, people are waking up to it, and of course
many people are now saying that, listen, I'm not going
to bother going into debt to go to college. It's
a pointless exercise to get a worthless degree when look,
the trades are welcoming people every single day and provide
you with a lifetime career and sufficient earnings to raise
a family. You know, you describe those that are motivated
to go to and become college professors, it sounded to

(06:40):
me much like politicians. Those who want to be powerful
and lord over and make decisions on behalf of the
unwashed masses, quite often gravitate to politics. There's a nefarious
component to it.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yeah, certainly they are almost all political actors. In most
of the schools that are not hard sciences, that don't
require some sort of data, that don't even you know,
the peer review process is sort of broken. But at
least in medical schools and stuff you do, at least
you're at least opposed to pay homage to the scientific
process and to the concepts of trying to have your

(07:12):
theories be testable. It's just not the case in law
schools and jay schools. I mean, you can just go
through stuff and just basically talk crap for lack of
a better expression, and you could be elevated for it
if you're skilled at a talking crap. I mean, that
is what it is, and it's but I think people
understand it. And you made an interesting point about going

(07:33):
into traits. If you want to do journalism and you're
in in high school, you're probably better off immediately starting
to do journalism, trying to track down a big story
in your community, trying to find an internship with a
figure that you like, trying to develop skills that maybe
older talented journalists need that maybe they're not going to

(07:55):
be as savvy with some of the technology, something like that.
You're really better off doing that on your own and
paying a bunch of money to go to journalism school.
Because I'll tell you, if I'm looking in to hire
a reporter who's twenty three and when's jaschool or is
in j school, or is eighteen and is super hungry
and will do anything with a smile on his face,
I mean, it's a really tough call, and I'm probably

(08:16):
airing towards the eighteen year old who's got the energy
versus a twenty three year old with a degree.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
I don't really care about my guest today editor in
Chief Alex Marlowe giving us the inside scoop again the
Empower You seminar, which is it's tonight on journalism generally speaking,
empower Youamerica dot org. You can log in from home
and enjoy the conversation. I guess I have to ask you,
what's Alex journalism as a field of study in college.

(08:46):
I'm wondering what value it even provides? What argument can
be made that you should go and pursue a journalism
degree because it all seems to me to be logic
and reason. Are you capable of putting together sentences? Do
you understand how to structure an ar a breakdown the who? What? Where?
Or when? Can you report the facts? Are you going?
I mean, anybody can be an editorialist, but in order

(09:07):
to just be providing information to the public in a
journal with journalistic integrity, isn't that just simply a question
of telling the truth and putting things together in a
readable fashion? What more can you learn in journalism school?
What's so special about?

Speaker 2 (09:22):
There's nothing? The only thing is someone And we again
we have people at very part who have been in
journalism school, so it's not. We have others who watch
know college at all, so we have everything in between, right,
it's the we don't. I don't. I don't know what
they learn in journalism school to be honest. Okay, presumably
you get some sense of journalistic ethics, but the I
feel like the least ethical people in all of American

(09:45):
media are one who study journalism. So I don't think
that's a good reason to go.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Amen.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
I think it's more of an indication to potential employer
that you're serious. That's all it amounts to, just to
be not to be snarky about it, but to be literal.
I think it's that's all it said. And the signal
is that you really are committed to doing to doing reporting,
and that's it. But otherwise you're better off as being
a smart, savvy person who is willing to work hard

(10:11):
and is unafraid. That is the number one quality that
I'm looking for is people who are willing to call
out the bad guys, whoever they may be, in a
fearless way.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Amen.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
That's yeah, that's my number one, two and three criteria.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
That's a wonderful way to summarize that. Being able to
call it the bad guys in spite of social pressure
and what you perhaps open the door to, which is
in this Internet age and doxing and anger and vitro,
which seems to come out of nowhere in the minute
someone bucks the system. I think that's a profound way
of putting it. And you know, I CBS, this is

(10:49):
so funny. I'm serious. The sixty minutes which in speaking
of ethics, forty six News and Documentary Emmy Award nomination.
CBS got it for that interview of Kamala Harris, the
one that they edited to make it look like she
was actually more intelligent than she actually is. That they

(11:11):
had to come out and apologize the interview basis for
the twenty billion dollar lawsuit whether It's Got Married or not,
that Trump filed against CBS in his parent company, Paramount Global,
that was nominated for an Emmy. Talk about the circular
pleasure fest that goes on among journalists, I mean the Emmys,
just the idea that it was awarded to CBS. The CBS.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yeah, I actually agree with that because to make her
look say, am I intelligent? Does deserve some sort of
a special award. She just comes off of so idiotic
all the time. That's great. So that's actually one place
where I'm at the contrarian to the conservative movement. I
think I think that absolutely the reason enough for an award,
and they do this all the time. There's a tweak

(11:53):
going around from a guy named John Hassen this morning.
It points out that Pro Publica on A which is
a left wing funded group, that they actually do some
pretty good reporting, but it's all activists reporting. But they
had won a Pulitzer Prize for falsely blaming a woman's
death on abortion laws instead of the extreme abortion medication

(12:17):
that she was on. And and that's so they've gotten
the story wrong and they went award for it. I
think about how the Pulitzer got your Times in Washington
Post won them for a false reporting about the Russian
collusion hoax, and no one ever retracts them. They're never
given back, no one ever says a has any humility
and Post online I shouldn't have won this and I'm gonna,

(12:41):
you know, do something to make up for it, and
no one ever does anything like that. So they're all
dishonest people. I mean, it's one of the one of
the things that's going on.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
Well, which supports the reason why the established the media
has destroyed itself when they lie to us, and they
they obviously reveal their political biases and what they report
and how they report on it. I mean, Alex Marlow,
you have seen the statistics on the number of negative
news stories about Donald Trump versus the positive ones. It's
like ninety plus percent negative versus positive across the mainstream media.

(13:13):
Ledger listen. More than the majority of folks voted for
Donald Trump. Clearly they don't have that much bias against
them if the majority of American people he won the
popular vote, and yet here they are perpetuating all of
the negativity, in many cases lies about him.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Yeah, they do that. I'm wondering where you found the
ten percent positive stories, because I want to make sure
I breathe.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
That out com Although you're not.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
Weak down, then I guess that's where they are.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
You're not part of the mainstream media.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
It's yeah, but I always like it. I sometimes get
confused if they do something good, because then because then
maybe I feel like they take them seriously, which is
a lot more effort than what we have to do now,
which is we just have to point laugh at them
and to watch them light themselves on fire. It was
such as ack to go. A couple of weeks ago,

(14:01):
they had the White House Correspondence Association dinner where all
these journalists who are national disgraces, they get together in
DC to fancy hotel. They drink champagne, they wear black ties,
and they congratulate each other for all I guess the
stories they didn't report one year or something, and they
lost the election because you know, they wanted Harris to win,

(14:21):
and before that Biden they didn't cover very well. So
it's fine. I mean, they're all here for our amusement
at this point. But ultimately, though, it would be nice
if we had fearless reporters who did want to report
the news to people. It is, in its essence, is
essential to a functioning democracy or republic if you prefer,
and we don't have that right now, so it'd be

(14:42):
nice to get it one day.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
