    James and Al decry money in politics, call for a retrospective on how the Democrats squandered the billions of campaign dollars they received, and explain why Trump’s cabinet appointments are ruining his post-election honeymoon. Then, they welcome legendary journalist Michael Gartner to discuss ABC’s defamation suit settlement with Trump, his expanding campaign of press intimidation against Ann Selzer, and the risk the SCOTUS poses to NYT v. Sullivan. They also call on the press to disclose their funding sources and stand up for journalistic integrity before the nation loses trust in the entire institution.
