Will Trump make television great again?

from Think from KERA · host KERA

The suspension of Jimmy Kimmel sent shockwaves across the TV landscape — but there are many other ways the FCC is using pressure to shape the media. Jim Rutenberg, writer at large for The New York Times Magazine, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the role of the FCC during President Trump’s time in office, the degree to which the agency is able to regulate programming it deems too partisan, and why local stations face the brunt of the punishment. His article is “The MAGA Plan to Take Over TV Is Just Beginning.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
