About the Revolving Door Project

Hackwatch

Hackwatch

Hackwatch is where we monitor the mainstream media’s favorite Democratic-leaning economic analysts for conflicts of interest, perverse incentives, and just flat-out erroneous reasoning. We identify who the bad actors are, explain why they’re compromised and wrong, and demand that outlets stop poisoning the information ecosystem with discredited neoliberal orthodoxy and start giving people access to other, better-informed perspectives.

As written, the bill will do untold harm to Americans across the country through devastating cuts to Medicaid, food assistance, and student loan forgiveness. Working people will suffer, but the Republican’s bill will be a boon for the wealthy, fossil fuel interests, and draconian immigration detention centers. Democrats will not be able to stop the destruction, but they can use every available tool to make sure the public knows who is to blame.
