Trump Bends the Knee to Xi (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On tonight’s show I’ll be discussing Trump’s escalating war with the American media, as he continued to exclude CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House despite a federal judge’s temporary restraining order. All of this unfolded during Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit, when Chinese journalists were allowed in while major American news organizations remained shut out. We’ll look at the extraordinary press pool boycott, Trump’s angry reaction to the lack of television coverage, and the s
Trump's Fear: Live with John Aravosis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On tonight’s show I discussed Trump’s confrontation with the American press, which has now overshadowed Chinese President Xi Jinping’s arrival in Washington.

Then I’ll get into Trump’s escalating fight with the press. After the White House banned CNN, MS NOW and Politico, ABC, CBS, NBC and even Fox News pulled out of the television press pool -- and the consequences became immediately obvious when Trump held an event that was broadcast without usable sound. I

Read excerpt
On today’s show, I sit down with David Pakman, host of The David Pakman Show and author of the new book Pay Attention: How the Algorithms and Media Wars Are Suppressing Truth and Rewiring Your Brain. And we start with a pretty fundamental question: Are social media algorithms actually changing the way we think?David’s argument is that these platforms aren’t designed to show us what’s true, important or good for society. They’re designed to keep us there. And what keeps people clicking, scrolling
