Political Technology[edit]

Andrew Wilson defines political technology as a Russian term that describes the manipulation of the public through more than disinformation, but through multiple industries built around propaganda.[7] He argues it has been used to dismantle democracy in Hungary by Orbán, Russia by Putin and India by the BJP.[8][9][10]

Teneo Network[edit]

A private network of nonprofit and for-profit organizations that promote conservatism throughout all aspects of American politics and culture. In addition to its goals, Leonard Leo's leadership and the anonymity of its donors have been among the most notable traits discussed in recent ProPublica articles on the group.

Leadership[edit]

Leonard Leo was put in charge of Teneo Network in 2021 and as of 2023, held the title of Chairman.[11] Leo had described his vision for this group as a Federalist Society for everything, supporting conservatism in media, entertainment and academia.[12]

Funding[edit]

Donors are mostly kept secret, while a bequest of $1.6 billion has made the group quite powerful.[11] Sludge called the organization a dark money group.[13][better source needed]

Leonard Leo[edit]

Worldview[edit]

ProPublica portrays Leo as growing more extreme, citing Leo as saying Catholicism remained under threat from “vile and immoral current-day barbarians, secularists and bigots” who he calls “the progressive Ku Klux Klan.” Leo also referred to "barbarians" who were “conducting a coordinated and large-scale campaign to drive us from the communities they want to dominate.”[12] Leo was also quoted as saying he wanted to "roll back" or "crush liberal dominance" in American culture and life.[12] Another group that ProPublica described as a direct offshoot from Leo's network (and one which had Leo's support) was described as promoting the dangerous-for-democracy independent state legislature theory that seeks to give state legislatures total control in the administering of elections, removing checks and balances provided by state courts, which some fear would lead to election subversion.[12]



List of Podcasts about Democracy[edit]

Title Founded Ended Host(s) Affiliation(s) Coverage
Democracy Paradox 2020[14] Justin Kempf Democracy Group Podcast Network Frances Z. Brown (Carnegie Endowment)[15], Journal of Democracy [@JoDemocracy] (January 31, 2023). "You need @DemParadox in your podcast rotation; the sharpest thinkers on democracy in conversation with a deeply knowledgeable interviewer. Always essential listening" (Tweet). Retrieved July 5, 2023 – via Twitter.

Democracy paradox (podcast)[edit]

Overall: need more notable and independent sources over a longer period of time as of July 2023

Sources[edit]

Notable[edit]

Frances Z. Brown listed it as her pick for The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace's Eight Best Foreign Policy Podcasts in 2022.[16]

Maybe[edit]

William J. Dobson [@WilliamJDobson] (May 17, 2022). "If you care about democracy and its prospects, I highly recommend you give the @DemParadox podcast a listen. Justin Kempf hosts a smart conversation, and there's a good chance you'll even hear a @JoDemocracy author now and again" (Tweet). Retrieved July 5, 2023 – via Twitter. (only issue here is that it comes across like mutual promotion more than independent endorsement)

The Journal of Democracy [@JoDemocracy] (January 31, 2023). "You need @DemParadox in your podcast rotation; the sharpest thinkers on democracy in conversation with a deeply knowledgeable interviewer. Always essential listening" (Tweet). Retrieved July 5, 2023 – via Twitter. - the Journal of Democracy article is classified as a 'stub' meaning it's not the most ideal source. It's also not peer-reviewed. There's also a question of independence given the quote below.

Recommendation - Jessica Ludwig on Twitter (should she have a Wikipedia profile?) - appears on the podcast to promote her book - maybe not independent?

Current Publishing local profile[14] - no Wikipedia page for the source

Not notable enough (at least not yet)[edit]

Would first want to see a fully-developed Wikipedia page to help evaluate notability for most of these

Democracy Group member[17] (group doesn't have enough media mentions for its own page)

Referenced in WaPo op-ed by Jennifer Rubin (need more than a reference for notability)

Referenced in Jacobin[18] (though the podcast isn't mentioned by name)
