Episode Notes
Back in 2015, Farai Chideya was a senior writer covering politics at FiveThirtyEight. Her time there was instructive in understanding how the media failed to take Trump’s presidential candidacy seriously. Now that she has her own show, she’s speaking up about how journalists—and the news outlets that employ them—could better serve the public.
Guest: Farai Chideya, host of Our Body Politic.
