Hi folks, today we have David Gollob who served as CBC, BBC, and Mcleans Latin American correspondent as well as editor of the CBC’s national news to discuss “The Decline of the Media”.
I had to take a few days to process this. The issue is the one of the "decline" of the media, not the "quality" of the media. I believe your guest confirmed that what we have today is what we have always had, only more of it. Not that it is right, but it is so. It's difficult to speak ill of the hand that feeds you, every editor having to constantly ask whether this is the hill to die on.
In terms of your comment about panels of people screaming at each other, well, I don't know about the other networks, but on CNN, which I have chosen to watch in the 30 minutes a day or so I get to watch TV, I don't see that. When Trump was president, I saw his acolytes get very aggressive and testy when interviewed, but I find the panel members treat each other very respectfully.
I, for one, like to hear the views of others, including yours, my old friend. As I always tell you, you make me feel smarter and better informed!
Many thanks Kati. Indeed, the state of the media is an example of how money rules the world, buys different "truths", and influences our behavior and beliefs. Thanks for the compliment! My goal is to contribute to an understanding of some of today's key issues and, if I am succeeding, then all is good!

I like that the podcasts are not too long and I like your questions in this interview.
Thank you Mickey. I am trying to keep them short and will now be issuing articles only on Wednesdays to avoid information overload! Shabbat shalom!
