Jury deliberates in Atkisson aggravated DUI trial
SUMMARY: In week two of the trial, prosecutors called rebuttal witness Shelby McCoy, who testified that Elijah Atkisson sent him $17 for marijuana, contrary to Atkisson’s claim that it was for club entry. Atkisson, the defense’s final witness, faced intense cross-examination by Assistant DA Sharon Spencer regarding contradictory statements about his alcohol consumption before a fatal October 3, 2020, crash that killed newscast director Marcel Walker. Atkisson admitted to lying to his mother. Tensions rose in court when defense attorney Marvin Sanders was briefly removed for disrupting the proceedings, though he was later allowed back. Jury instructions and closing arguments are next.

Op-Ed: The conservative media revolution has arrived | Opinion
SUMMARY: The media has historically shaped politics by controlling narratives and suppressing dissenting opinions, often favoring elite perspectives. The rise of digital media initially promised democratization, but major tech companies colluded with traditional media to enforce censorship. This changed when Elon Musk acquired Twitter/X, leading to a significant shift in the media landscape. Politicians began utilizing long-form discussions on platforms like podcasts, allowing them to convey their messages more effectively. As misinformation from legacy media diminished, conservative voices gained visibility. Carswell notes that the empowerment of citizen media presents a major opportunity for conservative think tanks as idea formation becomes more decentralized.
