0:00.0 | Hi everybody, Cheryl Ackison here. Welcome to another edition of full measure after hours. |
0:10.6 | Today, the media shift during Trump 2.0. Donald Trump and the media are treating each other |
0:17.2 | differently in a second Trump term. Analyst Frank Frank Sesno assesses the changes and who could |
