Media Layoffs, Trans Procedures Reversal, ICE Scale-Back
Fri Feb 06 2026
Chris Stigall and Dr. Josh Mann examine major shifts in media and policy this week. They discuss mass layoffs at legacy outlets like The Washington Post, amid optimism for conservative voices gaining ground—especially in opinion sections—and a new generation of journalists emerging from places like Hillsdale College with constitutional and independent-minded training. They contrast this with persistent liberal bias in legacy newsrooms and journalism schools, noting how algorithms and new media are democratizing reach and challenging old monopolies.
