- In the car, sliding around the radio dial, I heard one of the fast-talkers going on about Pete Buttigieg, former mayor here in South Bend and now a member of the Biden Cabinet, Secretary of Transportation. The monologue was very light on particulars and long on character assassination. So, I thought, somewhere in the far-right media planning center they've decided that Buttigieg is a threat and the populace's attitudes toward him need to be tuned for future use. Low-information, high-attitude radio attacking a public figure pretty much has to be called out for what it is: propaganda.#
