The Quiet Insurrection: How Fear Is Reshaping Washington and the Press | Breaking the News
Julie Roginsky, Michelle Kinney, and Jeff Jarvis break down the media's split-screen response to Trump's primetime election speech, from ABC and NBC's blackout to CBS airing it with a disclaimer before getting grilled on air over the decision. They argue the real story isn't Trump's evidence, which collapsed on contact, but a president openly threatening ABC and NBC's broadcast licenses through FCC chair Brendan Carr, and the chilling effect spreading through both parties, from threatened poll workers to a Supreme Court justice describing a bulletproof vest. Plus, Pete Hegseth's testosterone policy, Gretchen Carlson's ten-years-later Me Too op-ed, and Julie's underreported column on the UAE-backed atrocities in Darfur.
