Manage episode 294236902 series 1943363
Len Downie’s career at the Washington Post lasted over 40 years, and culminated with a stint as Executive Editor that ended in 2008. In light of the shocking news that Trump’s DOJ pursued the acquisition of email data from several New York Times reporters, and a gag order on Times leadership, Downie joins Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman on this episode to discuss role of the free press, the evolving nature and technology of the media, the Trump administration’s antagonistic relationship with the media, and to look back on some of the highlights from his storied career.
Plus, our hosts are joined by Yahoo News’s Jon Ward to discuss Trump’s return to rallies, ahead of his anticipated appearance at the North Carolina GOP convention.
