Right-Wing Media Is Dying (But Don't Celebrate Yet) (ft. Parker Molloy)

Ben Shapiro, Bari Weiss, and Jeff Bezos have the same problem: audience retention.

Shapiro's Daily Wire podcast and the conservative website he co-founded are in a prolonged free fall.

"CBS Evening News" viewership continues to plummet since Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss installed conservative puppet Tony Dokoupil as the flagship show's host. The Washington Post's bro-y "Make It Make Sense" podcast — their YouTube channel has just 615 subscribers (as of May 19).

Does that number count if it includes Bezos and any of his alts?

This week, Katelyn and Christine welcome Parker Molloy back to the show to discuss whether conservative media is dying out. The reasons why may surprise you!
