"The Subject Is the Proper Noun Donald Trump"

On the Media | May 12, 2017

We follow up on our interview with Jay Rosen by talking to someone who has to report on President Trump every day: Glenn Thrush, of The New York Times. During a week when it has become clear that the President and his team are frequently not on the same page (this time, regarding the firing of James Comey), Thrush explains how to understand the reporting on the administration and discusses the challenges of getting the story (and the language) straight. Brooke talks to Glenn about why the steady stream of scandals and lies haven't moved many of Trump's supporters, and what that divide means for journalism.
