Admins 1 and 2 chat to independent investigative journalist Michael West, on his long, illustrious career working for both corporate media, and himself. 

In this special episode, we discuss his journey into independent journalism, and the difficulties he and other independent journos face in a David and Goliath struggle against the legacy media. 

We also talk to the decline of legacy media, and the descent of these once-great institutions from speakers of truth, to speakers for the Liberal Party, how they make voters vote against their interests, and ask the important question: “how did they get this bad?”
