On this episode of Beer, Buds and the Big Sky, Tristan Scott — editor of the Flathead Beacon — joins the crew to break down how today’s national media coverage shapes public perception and political polarization. We get into how narratives are framed, what gets lost in translation to everyday Americans, and why local voices still matter.

Expect unfiltered discussion, sharp critique of mainstream news, and Montana-bred commentary on why politics feels so chaotic right now.
