Why can’t the media tell the full story on abortion? In this episode, Mini sits down with trailblazing journalist and trial lawyer, Katie Phang, to unpack the GOP’s coordinated playbook: the dark-money network funding anti-abortion extremism from judges to disinformation campaigns—and how mainstream coverage so often misses what’s really at stake.
Why can’t the media tell the full story on abortion? In this episode, Mini sits down with trailblazing journalist and trial lawyer, Katie Phang, to unpack the GOP’s coordinated playbook: the dark-money network funding anti-abortion extremism from judges to disinformation campaigns—and how mainstream coverage so often misses what’s really at stake.
Phang joins RFA's Mini Timmaraju to share why she built her own platform for fearless, nuanced, fact-based storytelling and how independent voices are reaching more audiences that legacy media often overlooks.
Together they dig into attacks on mifepristone, the intersection of voting rights and abortion, the power of local and state races (including judges), and why real stories move policy. Listen, subscribe, and take action.
