The Leonard Lopate Show | Aug 22, 2017

In his piece “Is the New York Times vs. The Washington Post vs. Trump the Last Great Newspaper War?”, Vanity Fair writer and chief media writer for Poynter.org James Warren argues both papers are flourishing as they cover the new White House. And he explores how it's brought out the competitive edge in both of them.
