The AP ban, the press pool takeover, and Bezos’ capitulation

Mark Jacob and Steven Beschloss talk on Substack Live about political pressure on the press.

These are perilous times for political journalism. Donald Trump has banned the Associated Press from White House events and has changed the rules on who can cover the president. Meanwhile, Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos, trying to appease Trump, has imposed new restrictions on opinion columns. Steven Beschloss and I talked about it on Substack Live.
