Exposing the Reality of Mainstream Media & Local News | John Bachman | MEDIA | Rubin Report

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to Newsmax TV Anchor John Bachman about why he left mainstream media, if the radical left Democrats will really be able to push through their far left agenda of abolishing the electoral college, and how Democrats are unintentionally fueling a desire for alternative conservative news. John discusses what it was really like to work in local news and how corporate consolidation increased media bias and damaged real journalism. He shares what drew him to Newsmax and how his reporting of politics has angered both sides of the political aisle. He also explains why Newsmax has been branded as simply another example of right wing media. John talks about the growing audience for alternative media and why people tend to become more conservative as they age. He also shares his optimism in Kamala Harris being the tiebreaker in the US Senate. He hopes that she will not sign off on the more radical policy ideas being discussed by the Democrats like plans to abolish the electoral college or packing the Supreme Court. He explains how the electoral college is one of the reasons we were able to escape the tyranny of the majority and repeal slavery. John shares what it is like to know that Donald Trump is paying close attention to your reporting. He also discusses how Newsmax reports on Trump and the dangers of creating an echo chamber. He explains why radical left Democrats are making his job easier and helping fuel the growth in conservative media outlets. On the lighter side John shares some of his favorite 80s movies and how having a common enemy in the Soviet Union may have brought Americans together.
