In a world where algorithms are optimized to confirm your worldview, where do you go for a shared sense of reality? According to our guest, Kristin Jackson, approximately 80% of the population has simply given up on the news because they “couldn’t figure out what the truth was” and struggle to find the full story.

In this important conversation, David speaks with Kristin Jackson about Freespoke, a search engine alternative built from the ground up to counteract media bias and help you break out of the echo chamber. They discuss why an independent index of the web is necessary to balance out the overwhelming volume of content from major publishers, how their approach allows users to compare news sources and see left and right viewpoints without claiming to be the “purveyors of truth,” and how this private search engine is changing its business model so you are the customer, not the product.

Join us to learn how changing the way people get information can lead to stronger arguments, better outcomes for society, and finally, a way to feel informed with unbiased news and without feeling manipulated.

Kristin Jackson is the CEO of Freespoke, a privacy-driven search engine focused on balanced information. A former U.S. House Committee Director and presidential campaign advisor, she leverages her deep policy expertise to champion transparency and integrity in the digital age.
