The Media vs The President? Frank Sesno EXPOSES What’s Changed in America

The relationship between the American press and the White House has never been more complicated. On this episode of SOS AMERICA, veteran journalist and media expert Frank Sesno joins Charles Feldman for a deep conversation about the evolution of journalism in the United States — from the days of traditional television news crews to the modern era where anyone with a smartphone can break a story. Frank and Charles explore how the relationship between presidents and the press has dramatically changed over the decades, how previous administrations handled media scrutiny compared to today, and whether the current political climate has created a dangerous divide between government and journalism. They also discuss: 📺 How journalism operated before social media 📱 Why smartphones changed the news industry forever 📰 The growing battle between the press and political power 🎙️ How social media now influences both journalists AND administrations ⚖️ Whether modern media has become too reactive and opinion-driven 🇺🇸 The changing trust in American journalism 🔥 Why political messaging now spreads faster than traditional reporting As traditional media struggles to adapt to a digital-first world, this conversation looks at whether journalism is evolving… or losing its way entirely. #SOSAmerica #FrankSesno #CharlesFeldman #Journalism #Media #Trump #Politics #News #SocialMedia #Press #WhiteHouse #AmericanPolitics #Podcast #PoliticalPodcast #MediaBias Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2513662/support]

Has Any US President Damaged Global Alliances More Than Trump?

n this episode of SOS America, Charles Feldman speaks with leading international law expert Oona Hathaway about the foundations of the global order created after World War II, and whether today’s political climate is weakening the rules that have governed international relationships for decades. They discuss: - What the post-war international order actually means - Whether Donald Trump is the first US president to openly violate that order - America’s historical record on international law - Whether Trump represents a more dangerous break from past presidents - How ignoring laws and treaties can damage trust between nations - Why presidential disregard for legal norms can have long-term global consequences - Hathaway explains why international law depends not only on enforcement, but on belief and mutual respect — and what happens when world leaders undermine that system. If leaders act as though laws don’t matter, does that signal to the world that the rules themselves are meaningless?

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
