The Establishment Media Has Destroyed Itself (and We Can’t Stop Smiling)

The Establishment Media Has Destroyed Itself (and We Can’t Stop Smiling)

Alex Marlow is Editor-in-Chief at Breitbart News and author of the prescient 2021 book, Breaking the News

Years of unethical journalistic practices among the majority of US news outlets has resulted in a massive corrosion in credibility.

Trust in the “alphabet soup” mainstream media – CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNNLOL – is at an all-time low, according to the latest polls. How did we get here?BI Special Agent Elvis Chang’s 2022 testimony in the Missouri v. Biden case, along with Elon Musk’s release of the so-called “Twitter Files,” confirmed what many had suspected — that Executive branch departments, including the FBI, were colluding with Big Tech to censor Americans.

• Because they censor (with a good deal of help from leftwing government) – You’ll be astonished when you learn what Breitbart News has been subjected to over the years. Will President Trump be able to put the kibosh on this once and for all?

• Because they lie (often to aid and abet leftwing government) – With hindsight we can now see how we’ve been gaslit and lied to, over and again. Stepping back, it’s a stunning list of deceptions.

• And now they are falling like flies – The list of media “stars” who have been deported (or who self-deported) from their lofty perches in the establishment media continues to grow.

So what’s next? The White House has made room for New Media. Breitbart News and others are regularly in the briefing room and have fresh access to leaders here in the U.S. and around the globe. While readership and viewership in the establishment media is tanking, Breitbart News and others continue to grow. Hear from Alex about the bright days ahead for you, the news consumer.

Speaker Bio

Alex Marlow met Andrew Breitbart when Alex was still in college at University of California – Berkeley. Andrew was making waves in the “new media” space and had given a talk to a gathering of young conservatives, and Alex was in the audience. After the speech, Alex struck up a conversation with Andrew, and the two hit it off. Soon after, Alex started working part-time for Andrew while still in college, and joined him full time upon graduation – he was Breitbart’s first employee, working in Andrew’s basement. (And yes, you are correct that he was basically a personal assistant at first. One of his key duties was making sure there was plenty of Diet Coke in the fridge!)

As Alex learned the ropes in the new media business, the company grew rapidly, and Alex’s duties expanded dramatically. He rose to editor-in-chief after the untimely passing of Andrew Breitbart in 2012.

Alex previously was host of the flagship SiriusXM talk show, Breitbart News Daily. That show still airs weekdays 6 – 9 a.m. on Patriot Channel 125, with new host Mike Slater. Alex is now host of:

• The Alex Marlow Show, a daily podcast focusing on news, America-first politics, culture, and values. You can find it on every podcast platform.
• Breitbart Confidential, a daily tv show for those who join the Breitbart Fight Club. It’s an insiders’ look at our editors’ ahead-of-the-curve thinking and analysis.
