What recent media behavior has put the mainstream media on the naughty list?

Dr. Drew Pinsky 0:02
Three great guests today that are friends of the show. First up, Chris Houck. He is the managing editor of Newsbusters. And we're going to talk about who's been naughty and who's been nice in the mainstream media. A lot of naughty, a lot of naughty out there. Then Rob Henderson, the author of Troubled, a memoir of foster care, family, and social class. He is a social psychologist that has an amazing story. He was trained at Yale, but himself came out of the foster system. And then Dr. Chloe Carmichael comes back. She's a clinical psychologist.

How has the media's narrative changed with the return of Trump?

Dr. Drew Pinsky 0:33
She's written a book called Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly. We're going to talk about mainstream media misbehaving and what we must all do to stand up for our First and Second Amendment rights. Be right back after this. Our laws as it pertain to substances are draconian and bizarre. A psychopath started this. He was an alcoholic because of social media and pornography, PTSD, love addiction, fentanyl and heroin. Ridiculous. I'm a doctor for f***'s sake. Where the hell do you think I learned that?

What insights does Rob Henderson provide about social class and personal experiences?

Dr. Drew Pinsky 1:05
I'm just saying, you go to treatment before you kill people. I am a clinician. I observe things about these chemicals. Let's just deal with what's real. We used to get these calls on Loveline all the time. Educate adolescents and to prevent and to treat. If you have trouble, you can't stop and you want help stopping, I can help. I got a lot to say. I got a lot more to say. And I believe I said Chris Houck at the beginning. It is Curtis Houck. My brain isn't working that well today. Curtis Houck is on X at Curtis Houck, H-O-U-C-K, and newsbusters.org and mrc.org. Curtis, thank you for being here again. We appreciate it. Tell us, give us an update on who's been naughty and who's been nice. Let me guess, WAPO at the head of the class.
Curtis Houck 1:58
Yeah, WAPO's been at the head of the class, mostly because, well, first of all, because we were expecting more from this year.

How does Dr. Chloe Carmichael address the impact of media on free speech?

Curtis Houck 2:04
You know, the editorial board has maybe moved a little bit, but there's been a lot of convection from the liberal media about what is Jeff Bezos gonna do now in this Trump presidency? Is he gonna move the paper back to the center? And we really haven't seen that yet. You know, in the graphic there ahead of the show here was a story that I did earlier a few days ago about the Washington Post kind of painting the National Guard ambush suspect as, you know, a kind of victim of his circumstances about coming to the United States and not being able to find a job. And, you know, one thing led to another. And here he was shooting up a Washington, D.C. metro station. Um, you know, speaking of the print, New York times is another one that I have here because their story on Sunday, granted it was recently, but I think it was an old time whopper admitting that yes, the Biden border policy was a catastrophe.

What are the implications of draconian laws on mental health and substance use?

Curtis Houck 2:56
they want to deny reality uh and insist that you know kind of providing structure and order at the border and this is really something we want to get into we don't really want to upset certain base voters in certain constituencies um then once they realized it was actual catastrophe oh well we don't actually want to talk about it we can hope this thing will just go away so for the times to write a story thousands of words long on the sunday paper well over a year, almost a full year after the Biden presidency ended, is just rank irresponsibility. So we'll start there.
Dr. Drew Pinsky 3:30
Were they, as they always do, were they biasing in a way that really it was okay or that was compassionate or something to put in some sort of good light?
Curtis Houck 3:41
Yeah, I mean, I think it's just way too late. I think the sudden kind of respect, I think that kind of, you know, is one thing. I think kind of doing, this is a story that they should have done a year ago if this story had come out or more than a year ago. That would have been, okay, this is good journalism. But you do it then half well years after the fact when people were, you know, I mean, there was footage. Anybody who was there down at the border, a highway overpasses.
