Episode 77 of Politics Matters with Bruce Klopfleisch

Bruce Klopfleisch analyzes the recent controversy surrounding CBS News and 60 Minutes, arguing that corporate interests and political pressure led to the suppression of a report on El Salvador’s prison system. He discusses the broader implications for independent journalism, citing Larry Ellison’s influence at Paramount and a potential TikTok acquisition by American investors as evidence of right-wing consolidation of media. Then a look at Democratic overperformance in recent special elections in Kentucky and South Carolina, which Bruce suggests may signal voter resilience despite challenging national narratives.
