If you’re a regular listener of the Lean Out podcast, you know that it has not been a good couple of years for the media. From the lab leak theory to the Hunter Biden laptop, we in the press have gotten a lot of big stories wrong. Tara's guest on the program today is a media veteran, and he has some insights on how this all has happened — and where we go from here. Steve Krakauer is a journalist, media critic and author. He’s executive producer of The Megyn Kelly Show and host of The Fourth Watch podcast. His new book is Uncovered: How the Media Got Cozy with Power, Abandoned Its Principles, and Lost the People.
