MR. PRESIDENT, WE MUST NOT ALLOW A PROGRESSIVE MEDIA GAP! Ex-MSNBC Mehdi Hasan Launching His Own Med
"Ex-MSNBC Mehdi Hasan Launching His Own Media Company to Fill Progressive ‘Gap in the Market.’
Former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan is launching his own digital media company that he’s hoping will fill a “gap in the market.”
“No one really on the progressive left has been able to pull off anything similar,” Hasan told The Washington Post’s Jeremy Barr about the venture.
He added later that there is a “craving” and “gap in the market” he intends to fill.
“I believe there is a craving for media organizations that don’t shy away from saying the truth, even if it’s uncomfortable, even if it bothers people, even if it hinders access, even if it shakes the apple cart,” he said. “From a purely business perspective, there is a gap in the market.”

Paul Krugman Plays the Fool: 'White Rural Rage' Is 'Single Greatest Threat Facing American Democracy' By Mike Miller

This process and its effects are laid out in devastating, terrifying, and baffling detail in “White Rural Rage: The Threat to American Democracy,” a new book by Tom Schaller and Paul Waldman. I say “devastating” because the hardship of rural Americans is real, “terrifying” because the political backlash to this hardship poses a clear and present danger to our democracy, and “baffling” because at some level I still don’t get the politics...

Tucker Carlson: The 2020 Election Was ‘100 Percent Stolen’ From President Trump
"..."You said to some degree the election was rigged," Fridman began. "Was it stolen?"
"It was 100% stolen," Carlson replied. "Are you joking?"
"Like, it was rigged to that large—"
- “They completely change the way people vote right before the election on the basis of COVID—which had nothing to do with—"
Carlson replied:
One hundred percent. And then you censor the information people are allowed to get. Anyone who complains about COVID, which was like — by the way, it might have hurt Trump...Whether the people in charge want it or don't want it or think it's true or think it's false doesn't matter...
A study from the Heartland Institute released earlier this month concluded that "had the 2020 election been conducted like every national election has been over the past two centuries, wherein the vast majority of voters cast ballots in-person rather than by mail, Donald Trump would have almost certainly been re-elected."
