Bonus: Axios and Allies feat. Jael Holzman
🕑 Added 2024-06-27 19:43:11 +0000 UTCWill talks to musician and climate journalist Jael Holzman (Ekko Astral, Heatmap News) about her experience as a congressional reporter at outlets like Axios and Politico, and the conditions that led her to quit. We discuss the institutionalized bias against accurate reporting on topics like climate change and trans rights & healthcare, the outrageous complacency with baseless stories from the likes of LibsofTikTok, and other incidents of casual “lavender scare” that permeate the D.C. press corp.

Of all the corruption in DC media that causes them to paper over issues...they seem pretty positive on lgbt. This seems like a personal issue of the last 3 years.

I'm going to be make the bold statement and say that Kamala is the wine-drunk suburban mom we all need right now.

Came out as trans over the last year and gender affirming healthcare has not only saved my life, it's changed it massively for the better. Really happy I didn't have to stop listening to Chapo either! It's rare to find a comedy podcast that doesn't directly call people like me child abusers 5 times an episode. Appreciate you all being cool Chapo crew 🏳️⚧️
