Behind the Media w/ Dan Lothian

Donald Trump is the master of the Twitterverse, but a ghost from his past is beating him at his own game. Stormy Daniels was her name, taking sexual care of Donald Trump was her game. She has played the victim, and reported on the dirty details on various media and she has accomplished something no one has been able to do...shut the POTUS up! Dan Lothian and Jimmy Young talk about how she has done this, and why another woman, former Playboy bunny Karen McDougal is piling on!

A new group is leading the charge against America's gun policies. NRA vs. US Youth, who wins? Now that we’ve heard the young people’s voices that are outraged over the most recent gun violence, will they be able to make political change in Washington DC? It’s the power of the young person on social media taking on the most powerful lobby in the country, the National Rifle Association.  

In this episode of Behind the Media with Dan Lothian and Jimmy Young, the two veteran broadcast journalists give their perspective. Is this the beginning of a new protest era in US History? Our hosts compare this movement to what happened in the 1960’s when the USA was involved with an unpopular war in Vietnam.  Young people led that protest that eventually got the US out of the war. Will the power of the young people overcome the might and financial resources of the NRA?

Only time will tell.  Dan and Jimmy set the table.

Is the way we are defining mass shootings shaping the conversation in the media? On this edition of Behind the Media with Dan Lothian and Jimmy Young, the two veteran journalists talk about the challenges of getting the facts right when the immediacy of the modern news cycle. The Washington Post featured an article on exactly where that number of 18 school shootings in 2018 came from. Dan and Jimmy identify that group, and talk about what constitutes a "school shooting". Is this another example of media misinformation for the sake of embellishing the story?
