New media stars like @stoolpresidente and @cthagod have developed a deeper connection with their audience than legacy media has - that connection brings tremendous power. Legacy media may still have scale, but not enthusiasm.

@stoolpresidente @cthagod @FourthWatch Will Biden do an hour with @BillSimmons? Will Trump go on @joerogan? The 2020 election will be remembered as the first presidential campaign where the legacy media was rendered effectively irrelevant, as authenticity prevails.

@stoolpresidente @cthagod @FourthWatch @BillSimmons @joerogan The media is trying to convince viewers the "hardest-hit states” for COVID-19 are actually California and now Florida. It’s absurd, anti-science and lacks necessary context and nuance to reporting about coronavirus. The media must do better. @FourthWatch: mailchi.mp/thefirsttv/fou…

@stoolpresidente @cthagod @FourthWatch @BillSimmons @joerogan Also in @FourthWatch - my interview with “The Letter” organizer @thomaschattwill: on how the media is covering race in 2020, the reaction to the Harper’s “open debate” letter, pros and cons of Twitter, advice for young writers and more. #BCCInterview

@stoolpresidente @cthagod @FourthWatch @BillSimmons @joerogan @thomaschattwill “The public aspect of taking stances and performing outrage is ultimately unhealthy. There’s no way around this fact. We are in a mass psychological experiment the results of which are not a foregone conclusion.” -@thomaschattwill on Twitter #BCCInterview
