Can a journalist ever be truly unbiased—or is every perspective shaped by ideology?

Host Dennis McCuistion is joined by Brian Doherty, senior editor at Reason Magazine and author of Gun Control on Trial and Radicals for Capitalism, for a candid conversation about libertarianism and its place in today’s polarized media landscape.

They examine the Second Amendment’s long journey to the Supreme Court, government pressure on technology platforms during the Twitter Files era, and why declining trust in mainstream media has led more people to influencers and social media for information.

Doherty also reflects on Burning Man as an unlikely libertarian experiment and considers the free-speech battles unfolding across universities and law firms.

From gun rights and online speech to media trust and institutional power, this episode puts libertarian principles to the test against some of today’s most significant cultural and political debates.
