The Tara Palmeri Show

Mehdi Hasan of Zeteo joins Tara to break down his explosive new polling that shows that a majority of Americans believe the war in Iran is at least partly tied to the release of the Epstein files. The numbers are stunning: the country is split nearly 50/50 on whether Trump went to war for American interests or Israeli interests. They discuss the school bombing that killed over 170 people on day one — and why a third of Americans haven’t even heard about it. Plus: why the White House press corps won’t ask Trump about Epstein, how our European allies are refusing to join the fight, and why independent journalism matters more than ever.

Tara sits down with Imran Ahmed, founder of the Center for Countering Digital Hate, for a live panel at South by Southwest on who owns the truth in an algorithmic world. They discuss how algorithms have become outrage machines, why independent journalism is both empowered and threatened by platforms, and how bad actors — from neo-Nazis to algorithm candidates — have weaponized social media. Imran reveals how Mark Zuckerberg dialed down Facebook's negativity algorithm on January 6th and turned it back up the next day, why TikTok serves self-harm content to 13-year-old girls within minutes, and why he believes we may be witnessing the slow erosion of democracy itself. Plus: Tara shares her journey from Jersey girl to White House correspondent to independent media entrepreneur, and what it's really like to be beholden to the algorithm.
