'If You Can Keep It': Donald Trump And The Future Of Press Freedom
Published 1 year ago
Description
Donald Trump has not been shy about his disdain for the press. In his second term, the president is turning those fiery feelings into action.
Since assuming office, Trump has stepped up his litigious rampage against the media, suing ABC News, The Des Moines Register, CBS News, and pollster J. Ann Selzer.
And at the Federal Communications Commission, Trump-appointed chair Brendan Carr has promised to roll back regulations. In January, the FCC announced it would be investigating NPR and PBS over their underwriting practices.
We discuss what these actions mean for press freedom, you, and the health of U.S. democracy.
