YouTube Description
as posted by the channelKatie Couric joins Jim Acosta to sound the alarm about what she calls the slow death of press freedom in America — warning that the David Ellison media empire merging CBS, CNN and Warner Brothers Discovery could become a second Fox News, that CBS already surrendered its editorial independence when it paid $16 million to settle a specious Trump lawsuit that almost every lawyer said they would have won, and that reporters who laugh along while Trump trashes their colleagues are being complicit in their own degradation. Couric also breaks down why Trump at the White House Correspondents Dinner is a trap for the entire press corps — and says journalists in the room should walk out if he launches what the Daily Beast reported would be a revenge attack on the press. With Trump at just 33 percent approval in the latest Associated Press poll, Couric says he is falling back on his oldest playbook — putting a bullseye on the media to distract from the failures of his second term.
