14:38Now Playing“Prisoners of Donald Trump.” That’s how longtime NBC reporter and analyst William Arkin described the mainstream media in a scathing letter last week announcing he would be leaving the network, accusing the media of warmongering while ignoring the “creeping fascism of homeland security.” He issued the blistering critique after a 30year relationship with NBC, calling for “Trumpfree” media days and a reckoning about how the network encourages a state of perpetual warfare. We speak with Arkin, whose awardwinning reporting has appeared in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post. He is the author of many books, including “Top Secret AmericaThe Rise of the New American Security State.”
