Summary

[Explicit Language] White House reporter Brian Karem returns to the show to talk about journalism and his brand new book, FREE THE PRESS: The Death of American Journalism and How to Revive It. It's an outstanding look at some press history – tracking why we are where we are right now – and how best to fix journalism as we stare down the barrel of authoritarian fascism, disinformation, and the diminished role of local news.
