Part 3/10:
Hugh Hewitt, the host of the show, elucidates how the government allocates funds to various services, which often end up circulating back to the same institutions that report on them. This creates a feedback loop: agencies receive taxpayer money, which they then spend on subscriptions to media outlets, enabling those outlets to cover the agencies effectively. In turn, agencies land back in front of Congress, soliciting for more funds based on the coverage generated—thus perpetuating a cycle that many find troubling.
