CNN - Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are ramping up campaign trail and media appearances this week
in the race to Election Day, now less than a month away. Trump on
Sunday told his supporters that it could be the "last election" if
Democrats remain in the White House. Billionaire Elon Musk made similar claims
at Trump's rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday. Harris made headlines
with a sit-down interview released Sunday on the "Call Her Daddy"
podcast where she dismissed attacks from Republicans over not having biological children.
"It's not the 1950s anymore," Harris said in the interview. The
Democratic presidential nominee also blasted Trump over abortion rights
and for casting himself as a "protector" of women.
Guardian - Traffic to news websites, including rightwing sites, is down compared
with 2020. Howard Polskin, who tracks conservative media on his site The
Righting, said a few factors play into the decrease. Facebook and other
Meta social media de-emphasize news content now, sending less traffic
to news outlets. And 2020 had several major news events colliding: a
pandemic that kept people online more, nationwide protests over racial
justice and a hotly contested election....
Beyond television and news sites, a rightwing news consumer will find a growing landscape of podcasts, YouTube channels, Substack newsletters, documentary filmmakers and social media influencers all trying to build a following. “For every laid-off journalist, another Substack is born,” Polskin said. “And that just … fractionalizes the news audience even more.” The top of the podcast charts on Spotify and Apple shows a host of conservatives: Shawn Ryan, Candace Owens, Carlson, Megyn Kelly.
