Coming Soon: my interview with Andrew Yang

My interview with Andrew Yang is going to post tomorrow (Monday). We discuss my experience at MSNBC, how ratings influence coverage in a negative way, and changes we may consider to improve the overall media landscape.


Andrew probably didn't realize just how personally the problems actually affected him.


You can watch the interview here, at 8am.



Look for other updates to come soon as well. As I've said before, no one is immune from the pressure to rate, not presidential candidates (nor Senators). This is a relatively small and common example I mentioned today on Twitter.


... I just reviewed my journal. On 4/25/19, I was told that we were never to pursue Andrew for an interview on our show (along with several others). The list of candidates was dictated, but the reasons for allowing them or not were not explained.

You can argue the reasons for or against but that was very early in the election cycle. Unfortunately, to be honest, I wasn't surprised by that instruction at the time because we got similar guidance nearly every day. I regret I wasn't able to do more sooner, but it's not for lack of trying, inside the building and out. I hope to be able to explain more in short order and provide fuller context.

The Rice Purity Test is a self-assessment survey that measures a person's level of innocence or experience in various life activities. Originating from Rice University, the test consists of 100 questions covering topics like relationships, substance use, and personal conduct. Each question answered "yes" reduces the test taker's score, reflecting a higher level of worldly experience. Initially designed for freshmen to bond and self-reflect, the Rice Purity Test has gained popularity online as a fun and revealing activity for people of all ages to explore and share their life experiences. https://ricepuritytesttool.com/

Right now, I have to piece together a number of information sources to be properly informed. I can envision some kind of "Reason Portal." A source that need not produce everything on its own but "point the way" to good content. Much as when a writer summarizes an important study and there is a link to it for further information. I have been thinking of an alternative to the current ratings-based business model for years... but am stumped. As a critical aspect of my 4-year bout with PTSD... President Trump Stress Disorder, I stopped watching all cable and broadcast news...

I just finished this great interview. It appears that there is no way that the business model of cable news will ever succeed in informing Americans properly. Perhaps a subscription model might work, akin to my NYT subscription. If journalists such as yourself started a responsible online news program... if feasible... I would pay a monthly fee for it.
