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.”

False news often spreads via public groups, or chats, with potentially fatal effects. Two days after Russia invaded Ukraine, an account on the Telegram messaging platform posing as President Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged his armed forces to surrender. If you initiate a Secret Chat, however, then these communications are end-to-end encrypted and are tied to the device you are using. That means it’s less convenient to access them across multiple platforms, but you are at far less risk of snooping. Back in the day, Secret Chats received some praise from the EFF, but the fact that its standard system isn’t as secure earned it some criticism. If you’re looking for something that is considered more reliable by privacy advocates, then Signal is the EFF’s preferred platform, although that too is not without some caveats. Unlike Silicon Valley giants such as Facebook and Twitter, which run very public anti-disinformation programs, Brooking said: "Telegram is famously lax or absent in its content moderation policy." In addition, Telegram's architecture limits the ability to slow the spread of false information: the lack of a central public feed, and the fact that comments are easily disabled in channels, reduce the space for public pushback.
