A New Media Landscape, Ben & Jerry’s CRINGE Ad, & NY Magazine’s Petty Cover

S2 E8 • Jan 30, 2025 • 54 mins

In this episode of Underreported Stories, Chrissy Clark and Bradley Devlin delve into the evolving right-wing media landscape, exploring the White House's decision to credential bloggers and TikTokers. They discuss shifts in media trends, independent journalism, and political implications of cultural changes in interior design and Ben & Jerry's activism. Key topics include a judge's halt on a Trump executive order, Bank of America's political stance, and the origins of debanking. The episode also covers a Florida Democratic official's arrest in a child exploitation sting, Selena Gomez's video on mass deportations, and a singer-songwriter's satirical take on racism.

Key Points

  • The Biden administration's decision to revoke press credentials from numerous conservative outlets has sparked a debate about media access and bias.
  • Ben & Jerry's recent ad campaign, which emphasizes the company's commitment to progressive activism, has led to calls for a consumer boycott similar to the backlash faced by Bud Light.
  • The federal government's spending on seemingly unnecessary programs, such as $250,000 to celebrate transgender individuals in rural areas, has raised questions about fiscal responsibility and the prioritization of taxpayer dollars.
