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.

As the war in Ukraine rages, the messaging app Telegram has emerged as the go-to place for unfiltered live war updates for both Ukrainian refugees and increasingly isolated Russians alike. Sebi said data, emails and other documents are being retrieved from the seized devices and detailed investigation is in progress. "Like the bombing of the maternity ward in Mariupol," he said, "Even before it hits the news, you see the videos on the Telegram channels." Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a video message on Tuesday that Ukrainian forces "destroy the invaders wherever we can."
