Ep. 13: News Media - How did it get so bad?

This week, in an all-new episode of Uncle, Please Sit, former journalists and current comedy writers Joel Periera and Tushar Abhichandani chat with Meghnad, policy wonk and Associate Editor of Newslaundry.com about something that's been bothering us for a very long time - When did the news media, especially the TV news media get so very bad?

With their collective years of experience in all forms of news media, on this episode we talk about how the news media got this way, why there is hope for the future, and we also answer classic uncle questions like "You witnessed this bad thing, but what did you do to help?", and "Why all the news is so negative? Why can't you show good things also?"
