Political leaders’ public insults of journalists are not random drama — they’re calculated attacks that erode democratic oversight. Combining data analysis, interviews with targeted reporters, and media-coverage mapping, we trace how gendered slurs trigger harassment, fuel self-censorship, and disincentivize newsrooms from defending press independence. This episode uses political science, media studies, gender analysis, and legal perspectives to reveal the coordinated effects of these tactics and why unified institutional responses are essential to protect accountability journalism.

What We'll Discuss:
- 🔍 Data patterns in public insult incidents
- 👩‍⚖️ Gendered harassment and its impacts
- 📰 Newsroom response dynamics and partisanship
- 🌐 Social platforms as amplification engines
- ⚖️ Legal gaps and policy solutions
- 🛡️ Practical defenses for journalists
