This week on The Disinfo Detox, host Nolan Higdon sits down with Mickey Huff—Director of Project Censored and Distinguished Director of the Park Center of Independent Media (PCIM) at Ithaca College—for a no-holds-barred conversation about the digital media environment as the new corporate media.
Together, they break down:
👉 Taylor Lorenz’s explosive reporting on dark money shaping Democratic Party narratives
👉 David Pakman’s curious response—and what it reveals about media loyalty
👉 Bari Weiss’s sordid history of media manipulation and her new CBS contract
👉 Gavin Newsom’s mean tweet strategy and what it says about political PR in 2025
If you want to understand how corporate capture, dark money, and media spin shape the stories we’re fed—and what that means for democracy—this is a must-listen episode.
