Summary

In the Trump administration, the line between journalism and propaganda isn’t just blurry, it’s practically nonexistent. The White House is now openly sharing content from hyper-partisan outlets, cherry-picking spin over substance and pushing narratives that serve the MAGA agenda, facts optional. But here’s the complication: the First Amendment protects it all, from Pulitzer-winning journalists to rage-filled podcasters to TikTok influencers ranting from the front seat of their car. So how do we separate real reporting from state-sanctioned noise? And what happens when the most powerful office in the country becomes just another partisan media outlet? Journalist Jacob Ward breaks it all down! Catch Jacob Ward's Warning every Wednesday at 2pm ET on The Don Lemon Show! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
