    John Ziegler has been in sports and news journalism since the early 1990's. He is author of _The Death of Free Speech: How Our Broken National Dialogue Has Killed the Truth and Divided America_, which he prophetically wrote before 2005. John also has a podcast called Death of Journalism.

    We discuss how sports was becoming woke in the 1980's with the cancellation of Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder and Al Campanis. We move on to the media's coverage of scandals involving sexual harassment and more. He believes that sport journalists are MORE woke than news journalists. He also believes that sports journalists played a big part in the cancellation of sporting events in response to the coronavirus "pandemic."

We discuss Objectivist viewpoints on the war between Israel and the Middle East.

    Alec Mouhibian is a film maker living in Los Angeles. He also has two podcasts--Back Wall and Filthy Armenian. He visited the unrecognized country of Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) before Azerbaijan implemented a starvation blockade. He also talks about the Armenian genocide and Josef Stalin's treatment of the many different people in the Caucusus region. We talk about his movies and false accusations against innocent men. We finally talk about relationship with the Objectivist movement and its many issues.

    In this forum, I often discuss the country which is on Armenia's northern border. I use the traditional words in their native language. Thus _Sakartvelo_ is what most Americans call _Georgia_. The adjective _Kartvelian_ refers to _Georgian_.

About Fountainhead Forum

From the publisher's feed

The Fountainhead Forum is a show dedicated to discussing many important topics that are key to living a great life. This includes libertarian politics, the values of the Enlightenment, and self-improvement. I may not endorse or agree with every guest on the Forum. However, I do attempt to bring on people who are sincerely looking for understanding and knowledge. This may include guests whose values seem to be polar opposites on the outside, but are very much alike on the inside.
