With guest Ken McCarthy

Ken McCarthy was a seminal pioneer both of the commercial Internet and citizen journalism.

Time Magazine credits him with being the first person to recognize and articulate the importance of the click-through rate as a key metric for making the Internet commercially viable.

In 1997, he launched the first news blog ever, a detailed account of an election fraud investigation in San Francisco as it unfolded.

He was also a pioneer of, and in some cases directly initiated, the use of many now-common Internet publishing activities: email marketing (1994), banner advertising (1994), A/B split testing (1996), email auto-responders (1996), blogging (1997), push-button audio content (now known as “podcasting”) (2002), online video (2005), and mobile marketing (2008).

He was introduced to the practice of science as an undergraduate at Princeton University where he studied with Julian Jaynes (psychology) and Bart Hoebel (neuroscience). He’s currently actively involved in advancing innovations in neurology and rehabilitative medicine through his support of fundamental research.

On February 1, 2020, he predicted in writing on two Twitters posts that: 1) the news out of China was suspect, 2) it gave the appearance of being a news media campaign for flu shots, and 3) it could possibly lead to the rapid development of dangerous coronavirus vaccines with more focus on speed than “science”.

In August of 2020, Ken released the documentary “Fauci’s First Fraud” which was cited 28 times in the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. book “The Real Anthony Fauci.”

He is author of the new book “What the Nurses Saw” about the systemic medical murders that took place and continue to take place under cover of COVID hysteria.
