Robert Silverman is a reporter who has published some of the most definitive reporting on pro-Trump social media personality Tim Pool to date. As much as Tim Pool may sell his offerings as better alternatives to mainstream media, Robert Silverman explains how writers at his news blog have relied almost entirely on work done by mainstream news services. Some writers, he found, have even engaged in acts of plagiarism, copying lines from mainstream outlets nearly verbatim.

Max Rizzuto and Alyssa Kann are researchers at the Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRLab) who Jared used to work with. They join the show to talk about the anti-climactic passing of midterm elections. Is election denialism still as potent as it was in 2020? Were fears overblown? Have threats to democracy receded? They argue no to all of the above, even if things went better than expected. If everyone on this episode sounds tired, it's because they are exhausted from working around the elections.

Tim Pool draws millions of viewers — and dollars — making political podcasts and commentary videos on YouTube. This episodes explores Pool’s evolution, from a self-proclaimed “activist” live-streaming Occupy Wall Street protests to one of today’s most-popular MAGA pundits. Along the way, we review Pool’s early media career, eventual drift into far-right politics, and rapid construction of the media empire he oversees today.

Over Memorial Day weekend and deep in the heart of Texas, powerful MAGA political figures and QAnon believers joined together for a wild-west themed conference inside an event venue made to look like a cowboy town. Joining SH!TPOST is Protean Mag publisher and independent journalist Steven Monacelli, who spent time at the conference incognito.

Correction note from Steven: “I mentioned a salute done by Brace Belden that I erroneously described as a "Daesh" salute. That salute has broader and more general use in the Islamic world. It  was effectively hijacked by Daesh and I regret associating it with them as such.”

SH!TPOST will be temporarily moving to a biweekly release schedule until further notice because the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has dominated all news and will likely continue to do so for the foreseeable future. This schedule change will start immediately; the next full-length episode will release on April 27, 2020. SH!TPOST will return to its normal weekly release schedule when news pertaining to the show’s coverage area picks back up.

I have paused Substack paid subscriptions for SH!TPOST until I resume weekly releases as normal. Your payment information and subscription status will be saved in Substack, so there will be no need to resubscribe when regular releases resume. If you would like to unsubscribe at this time, please email shtpostpodcast@gmail.com for help doing so (although I’ll be sad to see you go!).

I hope everyone stays happy and healthy in these trying times. We’re all pretty bored right now, so feel free to reach out via Twitter Direct Message or our Discord room if you want to chat or game together!

Salon reporter Zachary Petrizzo joins SH!TPOST to share observations from his weekend covering CPAC’s 2021 summer gathering in Dallas, Texas. Petrizzo describes the scenes in the conservative movement’s Lonestar State gathering as an anything-goes spinoff of the national flagship event, where fringe and far-right cultural elements jockeyed for prominence over a receding movement conservatism.

Vera Bergengruen is a Washington correspondent for Time Magazine who joins the show to explain why some unvaccinated people are seeking out Ivermectin as a supposed shield against COVID-19. Demand for the drug has overwhelmed many pharmacies, leaving some so desperate in their hunt that they’ve bought and ingested horse paste and other livestock drugs that contain Ivermectin as an active ingredient. At least it’s apple flavored.

Joseph Bernstein is a senior reporter for BuzzFeed News. He joins SH!TPOST this week to discuss the overly simplistic story of online disinformation that many American audiences have been sold. Joe encourages those interested in understanding online disinformation to pause and recognize several fundamental issues with the way some of our current conversations have been framed. These flaws, he argues, are not an end-all to the study of disinformation; rather, he hopes that addressing them will produce better work that contributes to stronger public knowledge.

Michael Hobbes is a writer and co-host of the podcast “Maintenance Phase.” You may also recognize his voice from the acclaimed podcast “You’re Wrong About.” He joins SH!TPOST to discuss the steady stream of stories and columns from national American media about the supposed rise of an “illiberal left”—something he argues to be a modern moral panic reinforced by thin hype. Jared and Michael talk through the ways this decades-old right-wing talking point has been laundered through respectable press using the moral panic starter kit and why it’s important to push back against it.
