On this episode of The Federalist Radio Hour, Newsweek’s Batya Ungar-Sargon joins Culture Editor Emily Jashinsky to discuss her book “Bad News: How Woke Media Is Undermining Democracy.”
“What I found when I started looking into this is, why do we think we’re so polarized if we’re not polarized? It’s because journalists are actually waging a culture war on their own behalf and it’s much more about class than it is about politics or race,” Ungar-Sargon said.
Ungar-Sargon and Jashinsky both agreed that corporate media outlets are increasingly run by leftist elites who do not prioritize the interests of working-class Americans.
“This whole polarization is an elite phenomenon and I think it’s just so important to keep that in mind and, you know, have a lot of humility about that because in a way like we’re creating this ecosystem that benefits us, you know, but it’s not actually reflective of the people who need us to actually be speaking on their behalf,” Ungar-Sargon said.

Ineptocracy
A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.
