Civil Discord EP 43 - Freedom of the Skies, CNN–, Libs of TikDoxxed || EP 736

Episode • May 31, 2022 • 1h 11m

What will happen to democracy now that an unelected judge has bypassed the will of an unelected bureaucrat and ruled that laws should be made by elected representatives? We discuss by visiting the recent ruling against the CDC’s airline mask mandate. We also share tips for how to respond if someone tries to guilt you into masking on a flight. Then: What will happen to streaming services—and the legacy institutions that can’t keep up with them—now that CNN+ has failed? We talk about the lessons learned from CNN’s ill-fated foray into on-demand streaming. We also predict the next legacy industry to go the way of decentralized, on-demand services. Finally: A masterclass in fake crying and phony journalism! We break down what Taylor Lorenz is doing wrong. We also bemoan the lack of a ‘Cons of TikTok.’ Your move, Internet.
