#AskTheMayor; Twitter Bots Vs America; Impeachment & The Future of the Presidency; Is It the End of Fairway?

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jan 24, 2020

Coming up on today's show:

  • New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio takes calls from listeners and discusses this week in NYC.
  • Darren Linvill, associate professor Clemson University and the Social Media Listening Center, describes the scope of the politics-focused Twitter bots shaping online conversations about the elections and the 2020 campaign.
  • Lawfare’s executive editor Susan Hennessey and editor in chief Benjamin Wittes, senior fellows at the Brookings Institution, discuss the impeachment trial and their new book, Unmaking the Presidency: Donald Trump's War on the World's Most Powerful Office (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2020).
  • It looks like New York institution Fairway Market will survive, at least in Manhattan, under new ownership, as part of its Chapter 11 filing.  Soma Biswas, who covers bankruptcy and restructuring for The Wall Street Journal and WSJ Pro Bankruptcy, talks about what's happening to Fairway and how its story connects to other retail bankruptcies.
