He breaks down the steep traffic and ratings declines across networks like CNN, Fox, and The New York Times — and why independent platforms like Substack are thriving instead. From fake visuals to partisan spin, Markowski argues that legacy outlets have become parodies of themselves, while real journalism has moved elsewhere.

From predatory auto loans to student credit card traps and government-backed “affordable” mortgages, Markowski exposes how modern finance often masquerades as help while knowingly pushing people deeper into debt.

But as Chris Markowski explains, the problem isn’t optimism — it’s delusion sold by Wall Street and fueled by unrealistic expectations. In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, he breaks down why retirement as we know it is a modern invention, why the math behind pensions and Social Security no longer works, and how facing financial reality — not chasing buzzwords — is the key to real freedom and longevity.

Santa Clara Law just “slashed” tuition from $63,000 to $50,000 after new federal caps limited grad school borrowing. But instead of calling it a price cut, they’re spinning it as a “pledge scholarship.” In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, Chris Markowski exposes how decades of unlimited student loans inflated higher education costs — and how a simple change in policy proves the market still works when subsidies disappear.
