Make It Plain with Mark Thompson

Angelo Carusone, President of MediaMatters.org, gives his thoughts on how damaging the unverified Hunter Biden story has been, for both the campaign and the press itself; Angelo says they damaged their own reputations in how they handled the attacks on Joe Biden’s son. Also on the media pulse, Fox News broke the law with their news coverage in the early days of coronavirus when they encouraged people to go out and take vacations, despite Rupert Murdoch quarantining himself -- what could that mean for the company (and the Murdoch family) legally? *Producer’s Note: After this episode was recorded, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey changed the company’s policy, which says they will no longer remove hacked material unless it’s directly shared by hackers or those working with them. In other words, they reversed their ban of sharing the unverified story about Hunter Biden.
