Episode 7179
About the Episode
As the Trump administration continues to exert pressure on the media, The New York Times editorial board has accused it of having a distorted view -- "banning words, phrases and ideas" to conform with the Trump version of free speech. Frank Sesno, former CNN Washington Bureau Chief and professor at GW's School of Media and Public Affairs, joins Michel Martin to discuss this worrying trajectory.
