TRUMP’S WAR ON THE PRESS WITH MICHAEL GARTNER
James and Al decry money in politics, call for a retrospective on how the Democrats squandered the billions of campaign dollars they received, and explain why Trump’s cabinet appointments are ruining his post-election honeymoon. Then, they welcome legendary journalist Michael Gartner to discuss ABC’s defamation suit settlement with Trump, his expanding campaign of press intimidation against Ann Selzer, and the risk the SCOTUS poses to NYT v. Sullivan. They also call on the press to disclose their funding sources and stand up for journalistic integrity before the nation loses trust in the entire institution.

Keep it up Alan and James. I go to you first, anticipating an enlightening piece on your Substack. I've been a political junky throughout my adult life. I ran unsuccessfully for state senate in '92, the same year that the James Gang brought us the gift of Bill Clinton. Keep it up guys! Tell us how to move our Party forward. I, for one, believe it needs to get back to bread and butter politics, not another campaign centered on divisive social issues.
