  • Resumen

  • An annual spectacle is about to take place in Washington, showing so much of what's wrong with today's media: the White House Correspondents Association Dinner. On today’s show, Josh digs into the corrosive obsession with “fame” in the news business, and how it leads journalists to stray far away from their role of providing you the truth. You’ll hear a network’s flagship political show, just the other day, present sports analyst Stephen A. Smith as a contender for the U.S. presidency -- without mentioning that he has no particular set of knowledge or skills for the job. (As Josh explains, Smith himself points out what’s wrong with this way of thinking.) And you'll hear a political operative talk about how the fame obsession led members of his party in Washington to do “evil.” Also, how the media weaponizes fame to skew stories, like that of a pro-terror radical from Columbia University. And a crucial lesson from the Enron scandal more than twenty years ago.
