The Washington Post and billionaires’ assault on journalism

Front Burner

About this episode

Today on the show we are going to discuss the complete gutting of the Washington Post, an American institution. The paper that broke Watergate. The paper that just nine years ago told the world “Democracy Dies in Darkness”.


And we’re going to place this latest news in the context of a much broader political assault on journalism, and the further consolidation of information in the hands of the billionaire class of Trump allies.


Our guest today is Max Tani. He is the media editor and co-host of the Mixed Signals podcast at Semafor.
