Episode description

[Explicit Language] Heather Timmons is the White House editor for Reuters, the former Asia Bureau Chief, and a former White House correspondent with Quartz. Today, we'll talk about covering politics in an age when clicks and outrage get all the attention, as well as the infuriating process by some outlets, mainly cable news, to manufacture artificial balance. How can the press inform the nation of this crisis, brought about by the Trump Republican Party, while maintaining its integrity and objectivity? You can follow Heather on Twitter here and be sure to follow Reuters here. Meantime, here are a couple must-read Reuters articles: Pro-Trump news site targets election workers, inspiring wave of menace and Inside Trump’s campaign to demonize two Georgia election workers.
