"Alarming": Media expert on how right-wing media is "poisoning the public well" - The Best People - Nicolle Wallace
Oliver Darcy keeps watch over the forces toxifying American media. And he’s ready for a reckoning. Darcy joins Nicolle Wallace on "The Best People" on how he turns the lens back on the content makers shaping today’s news. The veteran media reporter and “Status” newsletter founder is known for delivering must-read scoops and industry analysis.
In this episode, Darcy analyzes the depths of corporate capitulation to Donald Trump, how MAGA media stars are commanding the attention economy through rampant conspiracy pedaling, and why America's information environment is increasingly unhealthy. He warns that “the antibodies that were fighting the sickness” are being depleted. But Darcy also sees glimmers of optimism: from citizen protests to independent journalists, Americans are waking up.
