Conservative Media's Expanding Influence

KQED's Forum

About this episode

From The Washington Post to CBS, mass layoffs, shifts in editorial direction and even direct interference in coverage are raising questions about whether the press can still hold power accountable, from their own bosses to the current administration. As reporters leave and subscribers drop, we look at the challenges the fourth estate is facing and the ways the right wing is expanding its influence over U.S. media. Guests: Matt Gertz, senior fellow, Media Matters Jeremy Barr, media and power reporter, The Guardian Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
