Kristi Leigh

Many journalists have become increasingly tired of the mainstream news media. With conglomerates less interested in truth and investigative journalism, news reporters and journalists are leaving the big news corporations and curating their own path on either Substack or Youtube. Today on the Spiritual Spiral, I'm thrilled to welcome independent news journalist, Kristi Leigh, to the show. After spending close to 20 years in journalism, Kristi is forging her own path outside of traditional media. As the founder of Kristi Leigh TV on Youtube and IGTV, Kristi hopes to bring truth, nuance and a bipartisan perspective back to the news.  Kristi and I talk about censorship, being politically "independent" and the profound impact social media has made on the news media. She shares stories about what it was like working in local news and how producer's often didn't care about finding the truth but instead about satisfying their advertisers. She tells us why she may never go back to mainstream media and why she felt empowered to create her own news channel on Youtube. We also talk about the dangers of mandating masks with children, we discuss God, religion and why her faith is such a valuable part of her life. It's a wonderful talk and be sure to follow Kristi Leigh TV on Youtube or IG @kristileightv.
