Episode notes
Investigate and Admit Media Errors
- Newsrooms must thoroughly investigate their handling of Joe Biden's cognitive decline story and admit their errors publicly.
- This transparency is crucial to restoring media credibility and regaining public trust across political divides.
Apologize and Cleanse Newsrooms
- News outlets should sincerely apologize for perceived bias, especially against Donald Trump, to regain half the country’s trust.
- Newsrooms must eliminate avowedly liberal reporters who show hostility toward Republicans to ensure impartial coverage.
Be Fair and Field-Focused
- Newsrooms should carefully choose words for fairness and cover Republicans and Democrats equally without agenda.
- Media must increase field presence and cover compelling human interest stories ignored due to bias, like families impacted by immigration issues.
