In the first segment, we learn about the phenomenon of “dark money,” political campaign contributions designed to be difficult or impossible for the public to know about or trace. Mickey talks with media scholar Steve Macek about GOP plans for legislation to make it even easier to keep these contributions secret, as well as the failure of corporate media to energetically report on dark money, nor the wider issues of what big donors get for their dollars. In the second part of the program, Project Censored's curriculum development coordinator Mischa Geracoulis guest co-hosts the show to address the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025, the conservative wish list for a second Trump term. Mischa spoke with Lisa Graves, executive director of Truth North Research. They specifically address how education and the media landscape would be changed if Project 2025 is actually implemented.
