Mike Gallagher: Media ‘Looked The Other Way’ In North Dakota Political Murder

“The police report was very specific over what the guy said. But now we suddenly don’t want to believe what the suspect himself said?”

The murder of a politically conservative North Dakota teenager continues to be a talking point for conservative pundits, and radio host Mike Gallagher said the mainstream media has turned their attention away from the story.

“Jesse Watters did a great monologue yesterday pointing out the media looking the other way, and yes, the mainstream media has looked the other way and haven’t made a big deal over the man who was charged and released after running over an 18-year-old that the man driving the car called a Republican extremist,” Gallagher said.

He then added the phrase has been used to label conservatives and is now being used to draw harm on them.

“Does that sound familiar? The phrase Republican extremist? Because we’ve been hearing that phrase a lot lately. An awful lot. Coming from the President on down,” Gallagher said.

“And there I am, I’m watching TV yesterday and there’s my friend and colleague Hugh Hewitt, and he’s like ‘It was DUI, I don’t know that it was an attack’. Mark Davis in Dallas (said) ‘Let’s let the fact emerge and we wanna make sure we give the guy the benefit of the doubt’. Are you kidding? The police report was very specific over what the guy said. But now we suddenly don’t want to believe what the suspect himself said? Because we don’t wanna offend people in accusing somebody of a political crime? A political attack. Why would a Republican, why would a conservative, why would anybody be nervous about expecting accountability for a man who said he committed a political crime?”

Michael Smerconish Examines The Decline of Newspapers

” A total of three hundred sixty newspapers have shut down since the pandemic took place in 2020.”

Given the rise and acceptance of online media, printed newspapers have become less important in day to day life. Prior information reported by Pew Research says that since 2004, weekday newspaper circulation in the United States has plummeted by 57%. Additionally, newsroom employees in the newspaper industry have dropped by 51% between 2008-2019.

On today’s edition of The Michael Smerconish Show, the death of newspapers was a focus of conversation. The longtime radio and television broadcaster, author, and newspaper columnist expressed sadness after learning a prominent newsstand in Philadelphia had decided to stop selling newspapers. The decision was made due to slumping sales and the news industry’s challenges brought on by the digital age.

“Apart from me feeling nostalgic for the ink rubbing off on my fingers as I’m on a train to Washington, what’s really going on here is that those papers are often the glue that hold together communities,” explained Smerconish. “If nobody is at the school board then you get some of the shenanigans that are happening at school boards across the country.”

Smerconish shared information reported by the Associated Press in 2022 which claimed that newspapers were dying at the rate of two per week. The print industry had six thousand three hundred seventy seven active newspapers in May of 2022, down from eight thousand eight hundred ninety one in 2005. That represents a drop of two thousand five hundred and fourteen over the period of seventeen years.

If those facts weren’t enough to depress you if you’re an advocate for newspapers remaining alive, here’s another. A total of three hundred sixty newspapers have been shut down since the pandemic took place in 2020.

Dan Bongino Celebrates Two Years on the Radio with Westwood One

“In radio or TV, you either have it or you don’t, and you had it.”

Dan Bongino recently celebrated two years on the radio with Westwood One. The network offered a Sunday special of Bongino’s program, highlighting some of the top moments from the past week.

During the sixty minute special, Bongino welcomed former president Donald Trump for a 10-minute chat about political issues. After the Trump interview and an epic rant by Bongino on an issue raised by a listener, a conversation with James Lindsay about cultural Marxism aired.

The program wrapped up with a discussion between Bongino and Westwood One and Fox News host Mark Levin. Bongino credited Levin for taking a shot on him by allowing him to fill in on his national radio show when he had very little experience.

“Maybe I took a shot but you were running for office, and it was obvious to me that you were a few steps above,” said Levin. “You were a cop, secret service, studied philosophy, and I would listen to you talk, and in radio or TV, you either have it or you don’t, and you had it.”

After complimenting him for his loyalty, Levin praised Bongino for his show‘s success, and for his ability to connect with the audience.

“The audience comes first, everything else comes second,” explained Levin. “The company that we work for is wonderful but you can’t interfere with us and our audience. The audience is key, that’s what Rush taught me. They’ll stick with you if you stick with them. Don’t underestimate their intelligence.”

The conversation ended with Bongino and Levin talking about the issues surrounding AM radio. Both agreed that it’s a political issue that has little to do with the frequency where content is being offered. The two men believe it’s a case of corporate executives trying to reduce choice, something that both hosts vehemently reject.
