Oliver Darcy is the Senior Media Reporter at CNN. His nightly newsletter, Reliable Sources, is the top source for media news and commentary. Darcy has been outspoken about Fox News and the inability of mainstream media to call it what it really is, a right- wing talk network. We read his newsletter every night. It's free and you can sign up here reliablesources.com.

Here is a summary of Bill's conversation with Oliver. Darcy discussed the state of media and news consumption today. He criticized Fox News for its reluctance to address significant issues within the Republican Party and its role as a mouthpiece for the party. Darcy also discussed the impact of social media and AI on news consumption, noting that the landscape is more fractured than ever. He expressed concern about AI's potential to spread misinformation and capitalize on the work of news outlets without crediting them. Darcy also touched on the changes at CNN, including the introduction of a new generation of news anchors and the shift towards streaming with CNN Max. He noted that the business model around linear television is contracting faster than anticipated.
