Deep into Project 2025, the 900-page conservative playbook for a new Trump administration, is a plan to rid the Voice of America’s firewall, ending the journalistic independence of the government-funded media agency. Vox’s Zack Beauchamp joins Ali to discuss the larger implications of Project 2025’s views of journalism, how it intertwines with Trump’s attacks on the media.

    You must do segments on Project 2025 everyday, all the way to November. The people have a right to know what Dump's trying to hide!

    Vote like you're voting for the right to vote... BECAUSE. YOU. ARE.

    I live in Japan, where a similar thing has been happening. The article "Shinzo Abe Was ‘Trump Before Trump’—Except He Pulled It Off" by the Daily Beast explains it well. It was disheartening to see the media gradually crumble and get neutered under political pressure.
  • Democratic leader’s need to get the word out about how dangerous project 2025 is. Everyone in America should be informed on project 2025 before voting. Vote Blue 💙
  • Excellent reporting! A MUST SEE report to anyone who believes in democracy! 🇺🇲
  • @carlyar5281
    This is why public broadcasting is a pillar of democracy
  • It's good to link Trump, Orbán and Netanyahu as authoritarians with a vision of how they should rule societies. I believe there's a worldwide far-right movement to elect authoritarians who will put women, minorities and LGBTQ in their place. This movement also targets anyone who would challenge what the far-Right leader says, like journalists, teachers, professors, public health officials, etc.

    The words "government funded" and "independent" do not belong in the same sentence.
  • @TomPaine-tt2rx
    Maybe msnbc should do more than have human heads chat about it and do some actual reporting outside in the real world like watergate papers style? Make the curve don’t talk about it?
  • @joestratton3981
    We need a primetime piece for everyone that needs to know exactly what P2025 says, but they'll never put a show on to educate people of this danger.

    Adult literacy is at 79% and of those adults, the average reading level is 7th to 8th grade. Project 2025 needs to be explained to people with examples of how it will effect them personally. Thank you for decoding this crime against everyday Americans because it doesn't matter who you voted for when project 2025 comes for you or someone you love.

  • @BoseEinstein7
    Use the bullet point version of Project 2025 (in a single page) which is posted on Twitter and references to the page number. People will understand it easier and faster.

    Freedom of the press = freedom of information for everybody. Definitely worth fighting for.
