We're trying something new.

This is a throwback Thursday episode of the show

where we dig deep into the archives and pull something

that we think will be relevant and useful to hear again,

or for the first time today.

These are in addition to our regular programming

because we think they'll add real value to the show,

but you should feel free to listen to these extra episodes

or not, whichever you like,

whereas listening to all of the regular episodes

continues to be mandatory.

Welcome to this throwback Thursday edition

of the award-winning Best of the Left podcast,

where we remember the past and choose to repeat it.

This episode was originally published on February 17th, 2017,

and we've chosen it to look back

at how the corporate media handled the first Trump campaign

in light of CNN's recent decision

to host a Republican town hall with Trump facing friendly questions

as part of his current campaign.

The first Trump campaign was launched on June 1, 2019.
