Why Independent Media is Crushing the Mainstream | Dan Wootton x Peter McCormack

Dan Wootton is a British journalist and broadcaster known for his outspoken commentary and coverage of celebrity and political issues.

In this interview we discuss the growing influence of cancel culture, government censorship, and the woke takeover of mainstream media in the UK. Dan reveals insider insights from his time in mainstream media, how independent platforms are reshaping public discourse, and why the fight for free speech is more critical than ever. We also get into why independent media is gaining traction, how cancel culture silences dissent, and the chilling impact of advertising boycotts on journalism.
