This week, UnityNow’s Toby Davis sits down with Isaac Saul, editor of the Tangle political newsletter. Saul discusses his efforts to break people out of their political bubbles by covering the issues of the day through a holistic look at perspectives from left, right, and center, and an earnest effort to present the strongest arguments from each side.

Throughout this discussion, the two men explore what it means to be in a bubble, and what it takes to get out. What is it that drives the heavily partisan, often sensationalized coverage that has seemed to dominate in recent years? And what can be presented to consumers, caught up in the tribal madness, to help them open their minds to other perspectives?

The two also take a deep dive into Tangle’s breakdown of 2,000 Mules, a controversial film by Dinesh D’Souza about the 2020 election, to see what the movie got right, what it got wrong, and why, according to Tangle, it ultimately fails to offer any real substance to those outside of D’Souza’s tribe.

Finally, Saul gives his take on the future of political media. Is the age of independent media coming? Or, as Tangle’s rapidly growing readership of 35,000 might show, is it already here?
