Veteran American political journalist and TV analyst John Harwood, now with Mehdi Hasan’s Zeteo, joined Brian Daitzman for a compelling conversation about the state of the media and our democracy, and how Trump is stoking weaknesses in both to line his own pockets.
Harwood is no stranger to Washington, having served as chief Washington correspondent for CNBC and as a contributor at other outlets, including the New York Times. In his final broadcast for CNN, he called out Trump and MAGA’s hypocrisy surrounding the January 6th insurrectionists in a statement that was criticized for being partisan.
It turns out, it wasn’t partisan. It was true.
How Donald Trump Lost His Teflon
Donald Trump has lost his Teflon. The man who once boasted that he “could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and [not] lose any voters,” is in freefall. He is as dangerous as ever, still eager to shoot people where he can, but Americans are done with him.
Watch Brian’s conversation with him, and leave your thoughts in the comments. Is mainstream media permanently broken? What is actually mainstream today, anyway?
