The popular podcast “What’s Bugging Me,” hosted by veteran journalist Dennis Kneale, releases Episode 109, a special Freedom of Speech edition examining explosive developments in social media censorship and international free speech.
The episode delves into Mark Zuckerberg’s dramatic reversal of the fact-checking program and his plan to reintroduce “freedom of expression” on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads; and the shocking revelations that Elon Musk has brought to the fore, regarding a cover-up of grooming gangs of immigrant men that assaulted thousands of underage girls in the United Kingdom.
“Free speech is breaking out all over—or is it?” Kneale says on the new episode, up now on the Ricochet platform, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify among other sites. The pod also features an interview with First Amendment attorney Tom Julin of the Gunster law firm in Miami. Long ago, Julin and Kneale worked together on The Independent Florida Alligator, the college paper at the University of Florida.
In the pod’s closing segment, called Parting Shot, Kneale discusses Elon Lesson #6:
“Free speech is everything. Stand up and be heard.” This is one of Eleven Lessons of Elon offered in the new book “The Leadership Genius of Elon Musk,” up for pre-order now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books a Million, and elsewhere.
“What’s Bugging Me” continues to lead the conversation on contemporary issues affecting free expression and public debate. The show broadcasts on the Ricochet Network and is available on all major podcast platforms.
