The accusations of political interference against Trump

Is U.S. President Donald Trump interfering with journalism in the U.S.? That is the question at the core of the controversy surrounding the U.S. version of 60 Minutes - the most watched television news program in the country.  It’s a show that for decades has demonstrated journalism at its best - holding the political and corporate powers to account.  Now, new owners, and a suite of firings, has led many to question the motivations behind its latest decision. But is this actually political interference? That is what we will explore on today’s podcast. Hosts: Billi FitzSimons and Elliot LawryProducer: Orla Maher Want to support The Daily Aus?
