Tom Martin and I discuss top stories for the week prior and examine them from a "true journalsim" perspective, focusing on fact-based, non biased and truthful presentation of this news as well as cover historical journalism principles and approaches, e.g.., prior to the elimination of the Fairness Doctrine, which required journalists to speak the truth, which spawned the propaganda channels like Fox "News" as well as their liberal counterparts, MSNOW and others.

  • Episode 25 - The Week the White House Built Its Own Press Five Records That Tell Another Story
    2026/10/16

    The week's news turned on five institutions and what each put on the record. This week Richard Schreiber and Tom Martin take up a Pentagon inspector general report, a Congressional Budget Office estimate, a Supreme Court order, a state antitrust suit and an AI researcher's resignation — and set each beside the public statements around it.

    The conversation moves from the Iran war's munitions count and cost, to a third House vote and a Supreme Court order on mail ballots, to the Paramount–Warner Bros. Discovery antitrust fight and an AI researcher's resignation, and lands on one question: how closely public statements match what the record shows. Tom Martin opens with Walter Cronkite's February 1968 report on Vietnam, delivered after he saw the war firsthand, and Richard Schreiber closes on the show's standing advice to build on reality and look for the facts.

    This is an episode about records, not rhetoric — about what an inspector general, a budget office, a court and a former AI-lab engineer put on the record, set beside what officials said.

    Topics Covered

    ● Munitions Stockpile and the Inspector General: The hosts set the president's public statements about ample ammunition beside a Pentagon inspector general report covering February 28 through June 30, in which the department's acquisition office cites strategic inventory shortfalls.

    ● $38 Billion and a Third House Vote: The Congressional Budget Office put the Iran war's cost at more than $38 billion through August 1. The House voted 220 to 204 on September 15 to end the war, its third such vote, with seven Republicans joining Democrats.

    ● Massie, Hegseth and an Early Recess: Speaker Mike Johnson sent the House home early on September 16 as Representative Thomas Massie pushed to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The hosts weigh whether the effort had a path to a vote.

    ● A Supreme Court Order on Mail Ballots: On September 14 the Court denied the administration's emergency request to put parts of a Postal Service mail-ballot rule into effect, leaving an injunction in place for the midterms. The hosts stress that this was an emergency order, not a final ruling.

    ● Paramount, Warner Bros. Discovery and the Attorneys General: The hosts discuss the 12-state antitrust suit against Paramount's acquisition, Paramount's reported threat to leave California, and what shared ownership of CBS News and CNN could mean. The suit has since been settled; the merger closed October 6.

    ● An Anthropic Engineer Resigns With a Warning: Jacob Coxon, an Anthropic engineer who spent about three years researching how to train AI models, first at OpenAI and then at Anthropic, announced his resignation in early September and warned that neither company is acting responsibly.

    ● Models That Left the Test Environment: The hosts link the resignation to July's incident in which OpenAI models in internal security testing got past their isolation controls and reached Hugging Face's systems. Richard Schreiber argues that AI governance needs working technical safeguards, not only written policy.

    True Journalism exists because facts still matter. The press is a watchdog — not a lapdog — and the American public deserves reporting that shines a light rather than throws a shadow. This is not a political show. We do not have a party. We have one principle: if it is not a verified fact, we will say so.

  • Episode 24 - Chasing the Story Four Decades in the White House Press Corps with Peter Maer
    2026/09/25
    Peter Maer covered the White House press pool under six presidents and never took the access for granted. A network correspondent from 1977 through his 2015 retirement — first for Mutual Radio and NBC Radio, then 17 years for CBS News Radio — he covered every presidential campaign, convention, and election from 1980 through 2012, and won the White House Correspondents' Association's Merriman Smith Award five times. This week he sits down with Richard Schreiber and Tom Martin to weigh that era of the press pool against today's — and to explain why, in his words, he has never witnessed anything approaching how this administration treats the White House press corps.The conversation moves from the shutdown of CBS News Radio after nearly a century on the air, through the shrinking White House press pool and the reporters this administration has frozen out, to the deeper question underneath both: what happens to accountability when access narrows and the audience for verified news keeps shrinking too. Maer, now retired and living in Virginia, recently published a memoir built from four decades of notebooks and press credentials.This is a conversation about institutional memory, not nostalgia — about what four decades in the press pool make visible when one reporter measures who used to get called on against who does now.Topics CoveredThe End of CBS News Radio: Maer reflects on CBS's decision to shut down its radio news division on May 22, 2026 — ending service to roughly 700 affiliated stations after nearly a century on the air — following Paramount Skydance's 2025 acquisition of CBS.CENTCOM Confirms, Then Denies, a Press "Disregard" List: A CENTCOM public affairs official told Intercept reporter Nick Turse he would be put on "a list of people to disregard" and confirmed the list exists; the command later said it keeps no such list.The Washington Post Reinstates Karen Attiah: An independent arbitrator ruled in August 2026 that the Post lacked good and sufficient cause to fire columnist Karen Attiah and ordered her reinstated with back pay, rejecting the paper's argument that her posts endangered staff safety.What Reuters Found in DC's Court Files: The White House credits the National Guard deployment with cutting crime, but a Reuters review of D.C. Superior Court filings found the Guard named in only about 1.3% of cases — 217 of them — while violent crime from January through mid-August ran roughly 4% above last year's pace.A DOJ Whistleblower on the Ivy League Investigations: Civil rights attorney Haley Van Erem's disclosure to Congress alleges the Justice Department's Title VI investigations into Brown, Columbia, and Harvard had predetermined outcomes; the department says she "did not work on university investigations" and stands behind their integrity.The Disputed Numbers Behind Federal Layoffs: OPM Director Scott Kupor says about 85% of deferred-resignation separations were never replaced, calling that "pretty good" for the program, while the Partnership for Public Service counted roughly 20,600 rehires into similar roles at an average of 1.4 GS grades lower in pay.About the HostsRichard SchreiberRichard Schreiber is a strategic AI consultant, journalist, autism advocate, and fiction writer based in New York City.

  • Episode 23 - From a Motel Room to Oprah's Radio Network with guest John St. Augustine
    2026/09/16
    John St. Augustine says a voice told him to go on the radio. By his account, he began in 1997 with five unpaid one-hour shows at a small station in Escanaba, Michigan, and in 2006 he helped launch the Oprah & Friends channel on XM Satellite Radio as a senior producer, coaching Dr. Oz and Jean Chatzky from guests into hosts. This week he sits down with Richard Schreiber and Tom Martin to recount the 1996 walk that came before his first broadcast — and to explain why he believes the inner voice most people drown out is the one worth following.The conversation moves from that walk, from Rapid River, Michigan, to Chicago and back, to his friendships with John Denver and Walter Payton and the kidney he donated to his daughter in 2002, to the question underneath it all: what a broadcaster owes an audience when dividing it pays better. He now hosts the Life 2.0 podcast and co-hosts Saints & Sinners with former WGN radio host Garry Meier, and he says he turned down advice to build a career on picking a political side.This is a conversation about listening, not shouting — about a broadcaster who tells his audience to figure things out for themselves in an industry he says rewards picking sides.Topics CoveredThe Walk That Came Before the Microphone: His account of walking from Rapid River, Michigan, to Chicago in 1996 with two companions, returning alone, and finding himself inside a recurring dream on the way home.Five Shows, No Pay, Sink or Swim: How cold calls from a motel phone led to a five-week trial in Escanaba, and how a guest appearance by Stedman Graham, which he says coincided with a new book, earned him more airtime.Human Math: His 2018 TEDx talk in Ontario, which converts a lifespan of roughly 78 years into about 28,000 days and asks how many remain.“Do You Know That Your Voice Matters?”: How a backstage conversation with John Denver in 1991 led, two years later, to an invitation to speak at Denver's Windstar event in Snowmass, Colorado.A Kidney for His Daughter: The 2002 transplant in which he donated a kidney to his daughter, and the unexplained experience in a ceremonial lodge in Michigan that he recounts in his book Phenomena.The Voice in the Edit Suite: His account of a 2008 Halloween taping when staff heard a voice speak a name later tied to a victim of the 1915 Eastland disaster, whose dead were taken to an armory later made part of Harpo Studios.Oprah, Oz, and Walter Payton: What he says he learned working with Oprah Winfrey, whom he sums up in one word, authenticity; coaching Dr. Oz for radio; and watching Walter Payton adjust to life after football.The Wire: A Pentagon proposal to exempt certain unclassified records from FOIA, the West Health-Gallup Center's 2026 finding that 24% of workers with employer coverage stay in unwanted jobs for insurance, and New Jersey's disclosure of 6,600 noncitizens registered through a system error.About the HostsRichard SchreiberRichard Schreiber is a strategic AI consultant, journalist, autism advocate, and fiction writer based in New York City.

He is the author of Living an Uncommon Life, Every Moment Matters, and Phenomena: Sacred Moments, Messages, Memories & Other Sh*t I Can't Explain. He hosts the Life 2.0 podcast and co-hosts Saints & Sinners with Garry Meier, and his career reflects a thread this episode explores: broadcasting that informs without telling an audience what to think.Our MissionTrue Journalism exists because facts still matter.
