Ben Smith, former media columnist at the New York Times and now the editor-in-chief of Semafor, joins Dan to talk about today’s ultra-challenging news media landscape. The industry is significantly weaker than it was in 2016, and Trump’s aggressive lawsuits have the executives in charge of CBS and ABC scrambling to appease him. Will the death blow for America’s free press come from within? Smith runs through what we should have learned from the first Trump presidency, how cults of personality rule in journalism just like they rule in politics, and why the dominance of the Times is terrible for fascism-proofing the country.
