Media Matters weekly newsletter, August 22

Media Matters for America · Media Matters for America · last updated

Welcome to Media Matters’ weekly newsletter. Jason is taking some well-deserved time off but will return in September.

This week:

  • Late breaking: News is still coming out about the apparent FBI raid on John Bolton, but even a Fox News panel is concerned about this just being political retribution.
  • Top Fox News personalities know that top Trump officials promised voters answers on Epstein — and have no interest in even asking a question about those promises.
  • The podcaster who lunched with JD Vance in July now calls out the militarization of D.C.
  • The bleak and surreal lessons from a Fox News legal case you may have forgotten.
  • The MAGA media plan to subvert the midterms and keep only Republicans in power.

We’ve launched briefing.center with a focus on the press and media.

And we’ve added Citizen Cartwright, a daily quick-read news summary by veteran Washington journalist Linda Cartwright. We’ve also created a new voting rights knowledge center for Citizen Cartwright subscribers. (You can sign up for a dedicated morning email at citizencartwright.com.)

You can sign up here for full access to press and media and Citizen Cartwright on briefing.center.

You can use briefing.center as the center of your information management, or just one of your tools. We’re happy to discuss your information needs.
