Anti-choice advertising? WHY?
I was looking forward to this new podcast, but the very first thing I heard when I started the very first episode was a message from an anti-choice organization. (It’s spun as an adoption-support org but makes the true intent clear; e.g., “I was pregnant and didn’t know what to do!” “We’ll help you make the right choice.”) Given the extreme divisiveness of this issue - especially right now, in a post-Roe world - why on earth would a popular (and wealthy) mainstream media outlet accept funds from an anti-choice organization? Surely there are many neutral advertisers who’d like to support a Josh Mankiewicz podcast. Or - and I hope this is not the case - is HE anti-choice? Is this something Josh believes in and chooses to promote via his high-profile platform? This is a missing-persons podcast. Why get political? It’s unnecessary and you’ve now lost at least one subscriber who has long been a real fan of Dateline and its reporters and spin-offs. I hope you change your minds about this advertiser.

Exactly what we’ve come to expect from Dateline. The first two podcasts were thought provoking and gives a platform to families and friends. Excellent!
