1:20:28Now PlayingMark kicks off today’s show with new reporting on the shakeup at The Washington Post. He reviews the paper’s most notorious anti-Trump columnists and explains why their recent departures have yet to boost credibility or alter its biased reporting. Mark explains that Donald Trump is not at the core of the dominant media’s troubles, and why his leaving office at the end of his term won’t be the change that restores public faith in the press. Plus, an update on Mark’s sit-down with Glenn Kessler and the overwhelming response to that interview.
Then, Steve Krakauer and Drew Holden join the show to discuss how the media lost credibility and why hiring far-left media critics like Brian Stelter has only helped networks alienate half the country. The three offer their thoughts on how to rebuild faith in once-trusted legacy media institutions, and whether or not they can be fixed at all.
Finally, Mark’s interview with Harmeet Dhillon, head of the Civil Rights Division in the Trump administration. She explains how she is working to remake the DOJ in Trump 2.0 and redefine the term “civil rights,” using a race-blind, discrimination-free approach to law enforcement. They discuss the most consequential cases the division is handling, and the real-world impact of Title IX, gerrymandering, and free speech.
