Up this week from Dennis Kneale: Why are the media still ignoring #TheTwitterFiles? And… Silicon Valley sage Vikek Wadhwa accuses The New York Times and The Washington Post of telling lies in Kashmir, and best-selling author Natalie Pace on her life as a nomadic journalist..

Plus this: you think your Christmas dinner might get awkward? Hold Dennis’ beer: Our host must decide whether to sit down to supper with a person who recently was thinking of killing him—and this person owns six guns.

Up this week: Dennis leads off with #TheTwitterFiles and asks Washington Democrat insider Lanny Davis whether Twitter went too far. He also interviews The New York Post’s longtime “Media Ink” columnist, Keith J. Kelly, to ask why the media are going all-crickets on the story.

And the latest on the arrest in the Bahamas of accused crytpo-scammer Sam Bankman-Fried. Why is the SEC leading this case when it lacks any oversight of cryptocurrencies? Maybe the real aim is to silence the mop-headed 30-year-old so he can’t talk about Democrat donations and the access it brought.

This week Dennis leads off with the Georgia run-off and the Twitter Files, asking the $64 Question, “Where is the media outrage on election interference?”

Then Vivek Wadhwa, the Silicon Valley author, Harvard academic, and friend of Elon Musk lets loose with startlingly blunt criticism of his old friend. According to “The Vivver,” Musk is partying too much, is surrounded by idiots giving him bad advice, and is taking too many drugs that are “eating away his brain.”

Long time financial reporter and broadcaster Dennis Kneale kicks off his new podcast series with a look at how far the media have fallen since he entered the business 30 years ago. He also talks to Ukranian-born investor Yuri Vanetik, managing partner at Dominion Asset Management, who says Republicans are opposing Biden for his Ukrainian connections – when they should be helping Ukraine defend itself.

Kneale also takes a look at the downfall of FTX and has a parting shot on staying healthy through the holidays and into 2023.

What ever happened to Dennis Kneale? Well, then he left cable news and waited for the offers to pour in. None did. Imagine that?

But he has a podcast now, where he’ll cover the media, politics, business, investing and more. Be sure to tune in every Thursday for the latest edition of What’s Bugging Me.
