Summary

Celebrities are pausing their social media content to protest misinformation on Instagram and Facebook. Jonathan Greenblatt, head of the Anti-Defamation League, discusses this latest effort in the “Stop Hate for Profit” Campaign, as well as what Facebook can and should be doing to curb the spread of harmful content. CNBC’s newest host, Shepard Smith, shares his conversation with fellow journalist Bob Woodward as the two discuss Woodward’s new book, “Rage.” Woodward reveals details about President Trump’s response to the pandemic and the markets, and he offers his own historical perspective on both. Plus, Apple has unveiled new products and offerings for its users, and the House has released its report on the Boeing 737 Max.
