Summary

President Trump and the social media continue to bump heads. Earlier this week, both Facebook and Twitter pulled a video from his campaign's account that they claim spread false information about the coronavirus. Should social media outlets be the arbiters of truth and are their censoring decisions impacting the Presidential election? "Media Buzz" host Howard Kurtz discusses how social media companies should police their content and if they're specifically targeting the President. Polls suggest 2020 may be an uphill battle for President Trump. But could revisiting a former quarterback's playbook be the key to his reelection? Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume discusses the state of the Presidential race and why Trump should look to former NFL star turned Congressman Jack Kemp for inspiration and come up with some bold ideas that can revolutionize the Republican Party.
