Summary
James and Al unmask the disastrous impact of Trump’s first 100 days on our economy and democratic principles, call for a revitalization of America’s global leadership, and lay out the need for our media to push back against Executive Branch excesses before welcoming the founder of Telos.news, veteran D.C. journalist, Ryan Lizza. They discuss the legacy media’s struggle to cover Trump, the pernicious influence of the corporations dominating the media economy, how independent journalism can move our politics forward, and call out the censorship of the new media voice rising to challenge the status quo.
