Laura Flanders & Friends

Will Journalists Choose to Save or Sink Democracy?

Season 2 Episode 243

Journalism is at an inflection point, so where does that leave journalists? Dean Obeidallah and Joy Reid join Laura Flanders to discuss the money media’s dangerous denials and obfuscations, the problem with bothsidesism in a time of fascism, and the coverage of Renee Good’s killing in Minneapolis. Join us for this rich conversation on resistance, reporting, and survival.
