Episode 16: Michael Patrick Leahy

This episode explores the demise of objective journalism and how the internet creates both pitfalls and opportunities in the search for truth. Phill speaks with Michael Patrick Leahy, who started the “#tcot” trend and founded the Star News Network, which will soon have outlets in 10 states. Phill and Michael also discuss the dangerous trend of government entities policing speech and selectively seeking retribution against those who put out information that government officials dislike. This is especially problematic in the realm of election integrity, because the government is using irresponsible sensationalist claims as an excuse to go after anyone who questions the conduct of our elections.
