About this episode

The episode discusses the power and responsibility of today's media, featuring insights from Newsmax host Marc Lotter.

Today's media in all its many forms is probably the most powerful and influential it has ever been. But with great power comes great responsibility — and it's questionable whether today's media members recognize that there's a moral imperative for them to report the truth, and in instances where errors are made, to correct those mistakes. More than that, too many in today's news outlets are in it for the wrong reasons. Newsmax host Marc Lotter weighs in on the state of today's media.
