Summary

James and Al fire off on the continuing MAGA takeover of the Republican Party that led to the scuttling of the Democrats’ national security and immigration bill, and welcome NYT journalist Adam Nagourney.  They discuss the role of The New York Times as a media institution, its mission, its leadership, and the scandals and financial challenges it has overcome to deliver us the news.  Adam gives an inside scoop on the events that led to editorial page editor James Bennet’s resignation, the struggle to prevent bias, and how The Times has adapted to publishing in the digital era.

Email your questions to James and Al at politicswarroom@gmail.com or tweet them to @politicon.  Make sure to include your city, we love to hear where you’re from!
