Dissenter Weekly: Trump And The Weaponization Of Distrust Toward US Media

In this special edition of the "Dissenter Weekly," host Kevin Gosztola talks with Mickey Huff and Andy Lee Roth of Project Censored about how President Donald Trump's administration has weaponized distrust toward the news media establishment to further attacks on the press.

Mickey is the director of Project Censored and the director of the Park Center for Independent Media at Ithaca College in the state of New York. Andy is the editor-at-large for Project Censored, and he recently launched a project on algorithmic literacy for journalists.

We highlight the decision by the Trump White House to take control of the White House press pools. Later in the discussion, Mickey and Andy comment on the information warfare by Trump officials and outline what journalists should do in response.
