A New Generation of Conservative Journalists w/ Ben Zeisloft

You’ve probably noticed the rapid decline of legacy journalism in recent years. It’s almost on life support.

Over the last few decades mainstream journalism devolved into radical, leftist political activism. The fastest way to become a Marxist in America is by going to a “J School” at a major university. Unfortunately, what you traditionally saw within conservative journalism was rewriting press releases and responding to liberal mainstream talking points – not new and unique reporting.

Honest, fresh journalism is a necessity to a free society, so what does that mean for the future of news and media?

This week CEO Bryan Dawson sits down with Ben Zeisloft, editor-in-chief of The Republic Sentinel (a relatively new national news publication making waves), to discuss challenges for the future of journalism in America as well as recent changes that should give us hope.

Zeisloft left The Daily Wire to become the editor of The Republic Sentinel and has great insight into what is taking place in mainstream media, conservative journalism, and even Christian media that is worth hearing.

As an example of the need for expanded, independent media, Dawson and Zeisloft discuss the story The Republic Sentinel broke about Captain Bradley Geary, a Navy SEAL BUD/S instructor who was blamed for the death of a trainee in Hell Week. Geary is facing discipline and possible separation from the Navy.

As the attorney representing Geary contended, “the mishandling of the Mullen investigations points toward a culture of minimal accountability among top military brass, who in his experience have often preferred to shift responsibility for leadership failures to those under their command.”

Christian legal advocacy nonprofit Stand With Warriors and others are financially assisting Geary’s legal defense.

Like the story of Geary above, there are many more that should be told – both in Alabama and across America. The need for independent, honest journalism cannot be emphasized enough. Learn more by listening to the podcast!

Overtime: On this Overtime segment, Dawson and Zeisloft discuss Meg Basham’s Shepherds for Sale and its implications. The Left has long tried to cloak socialism with Christian virtues and labels. Have they also succeeded in infiltrating much of the Evangelical church in America? Have a listen!
