Episode 325: Florida and Texas Battle for the Worst State

This week on Look Forward, Jay and Brad return to discuss media mogul Rupert Murdoch and his media empire, Fox News, which are being investigated by the Federal Election Commission for possible violations related to the airing of Joe Biden's campaign ads. The investigation is focused on whether Jared Kushner leaked information about the ads to Fox News, which then aired the ads before they were supposed to. If found guilty, Murdoch and Fox News could face massive fines.

According to Healthline, this move could potentially pressure other companies to follow suit and address rising healthcare costs. This news comes amid growing outrage over the high cost of healthcare in America and the role that pharmaceutical companies play in driving up costs.

In politics, a controversial bill in Florida is sparking concerns about free speech and government interference.

Critics argue that this move is a blatant attempt to suppress free speech and intimidate journalists.

These developments have led to growing concerns about the erosion of civil liberties and the potential for government overreach.
