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.”

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." "There are a lot of things that Telegram could have been doing this whole time. And they know exactly what they are and they've chosen not to do them. That's why I don't trust them," she said. And indeed, volatility has been a hallmark of the market environment so far in 2022, with the S&P 500 still down more than 10% for the year-to-date after first sliding into a correction last month. The CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, has held at a lofty level of more than 30. The last couple days have exemplified that uncertainty. On Thursday, news emerged that talks in Turkey between the Russia and Ukraine yielded no positive result. But on Friday, Reuters reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin said there had been some “positive shifts” in talks between the two sides. "Russians are really disconnected from the reality of what happening to their country," Andrey said. "So Telegram has become essential for understanding what's going on to the Russian-speaking world."
