Journalism has a sordid past and in our latest episode we take a closer look at that past and how that continues today. We talk about how journalism is driven by attention, the market, and scandal and the effect that may have on how stories are covered. We talk about the nature of punditry and its relationship with news-reading. We discuss wikileaks and its role in the election. We discuss some of its past mistakes and its connection to foreign interests. We end the episode with an unsolved mystery from Diz.
