Video: Tech Wars and Media Criticism

Watch the video of our weekly livestreamed conversation.

On tonight’s episode of Dispatch Live, Declan Garvey was joined by Kevin Williamson, John McCormack, Jamie Weinstein, and Will Rinehart, who just launched a newsletter with The Dispatch called Techne that is focused on all things tech.

On the Agenda:

  • Why Will is at The Dispatch and what he hopes to do with Techne;
  • The Justice Department’s antitrust lawsuit against Apple;
  • The state of tech regulation in the U.S.;
  • The newest additions to Kevin’s family;
  • Jamie’s recent Dispatch Podcast interview with Brian Stelter and the “platforming” debate;
  • Former RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel’s swift ouster from NBC News; and
  • Oral arguments in FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, a case before the Supreme Court involving the regulation of a drug used in chemical abortions.
