Will talks to musician and climate journalist Jael Holzman (Ekko Astral, Heatmap News) about her experience as a congressional reporter at outlets like Axios and Politico, and the conditions that led her to quit. We discuss the institutionalized bias against accurate reporting on topics like climate change and trans rights & healthcare, the outrageous complacency with baseless stories from the likes of LibsofTikTok, and other incidents of casual \u201clavender scare\u201d that permeate the D.C. press corp.\n\nCheck out Jael\u2019s medium post on quitting congressional journalism here:\nhttps://medium.com/@jaelholzman/why-im-leaving-congressional-journalism-ee97e2bbebf6\nAnd get into Ekko Astral here:\nhttps://ekkoastral.bandcamp.com/album/pink-balloons
