2024 election was not won on traditional media. Welcome to the podcast election. Traditional media squeezes complex ideas into 30-second soundbites, making politics feel like a reality show.

Kamala Harris joined 5 podcasts, totaling 6.5 million views. Traditional media has been in decline for over a decade.

Only 31% of Americans trust it to report news fully and fairly, continuing to decline regardless of political beliefs. Platforms like YouTube and Reddit provide comments. X empowers users to fact-check in real time, keeping dialogue honest with open-source protocols like Community Notes.
