Has the Media Surrendered to Trump? (feat. Chuck Todd)

Chuck Todd, former moderator of Meet the Press and host of The
Chuck ToddCast, joins Dan to assess how the news media has
responded to Trump 2.0. His read? Not great. He and Dan lament
cable news' tired playbook, discuss Craigslist's indirect role in
electing Donald Trump, and question whether broadcast news may be
in the early stages of a kleptocracy. Then, turning to the
Democratic Party, Chuck and Dan debate which fights Democrats
should focus on, what voters will want from the party in 2028,
and whether the right is exploiting President Biden's decline to
undermine the left's faith in journalism.
