008 | The Media Playbook Against Populism

Ruling institutions work to discredit and ultimately silence candidates who are disruptive to the status quo.

This episode explores several case studies of the media running a predictable playbook against populist GOP candidates. In targeting these candidates and their causes, their true aim is to deprive many American voters of representation in Washington.

About THIS IS OUR COUNTRY:
Former White House political adviser Paige Willey delivers a relentless deep dive into the current American condition. Drawing on her experience in Washington, she studies the dysfunction facing our country and outlines the way forward to restore our nation’s promise.

Paige believes the great questions of our time will not be resolved with talking points and platitudes. THIS IS YOUR COUNTRY gets straight to the heart of the matter. Politics and strategy will be studied. The corrupt and craven ruling class will be skewered. Our degraded economy, society and culture will be scrutinized. Why? Because the American ethos has always been to believe a better way is possible—then to make it happen.

Americans deserve a champion. The promise of our nation is slipping away. It’s time to build the great American revival.
