Dana White: ‘Mainstream Media Is Dead – Podcasts Are the Truth Now’
Dana White emphasizes podcasts’ raw honesty as a stark contrast to mainstream media’s decline.
“The mainstream media… as far as I’m concerned, is dead. It doesn’t exist anymore… all of them have subscribers who want to hear what they have to tell them. Nobody is telling the truth anymore.
If you want to hear the truth, or as close to the truth, podcasting is where it’s at now, where you sit down one on one… these intimate conversations with somebody who doesn’t have an agenda, who isn’t trying to hit you with that gotcha moment, and then cut it up and edit it and make it look like somebody said something else.”

Soloviev also promoted the channel in a post he shared on his own Telegram, which has 580,000 followers. The post recommended his viewers subscribe to "War on Fakes" in a time of fake news. On Feb. 27, however, he admitted from his Russian-language account that "Telegram channels are increasingly becoming a source of unverified information related to Ukrainian events." For example, WhatsApp restricted the number of times a user could forward something, and developed automated systems that detect and flag objectionable content. Asked about its stance on disinformation, Telegram spokesperson Remi Vaughn told AFP: "As noted by our CEO, the sheer volume of information being shared on channels makes it extremely difficult to verify, so it's important that users double-check what they read." In the United States, Telegram's lower public profile has helped it mostly avoid high level scrutiny from Congress, but it has not gone unnoticed.
