Batya Ungar-Sargon stops in to discuss her new book, Bad News: How Woke Media Is Undermining Democracy . She and Bridget discuss the history of American journalism and how it was once a crusader for the poor and the working class, when and how that changed, and the vast disparity that exists between the classes now. They explore how Liberals who see themselves on the right side of history are divorced from the working class, but that does not mean that Conservatives are speaking for them either. They also cover why AOC's Met Gala dress is the perfect encapsulation of wokeness as a smokescreen that perpetuates inequality, the mistake in measuring economic health in terms of purchasing power rather than the dignity of labor, and why having an under class who's underemployed while the people in power spend all day sneering at their values is dangerous.
