Descripción

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?

Richard Roth EXPOSES How America Looks to the World | Trump, CNN, Fox News & The Future of Media

How does the rest of the world really view America? In this fascinating episode of SOS America, Charles Feldman sits down with veteran CNN correspondent Richard Roth to explore how the United States is perceived internationally and whether the American media plays a role in shaping that image. With decades of experience reporting from around the globe, Richard offers a unique perspective on how America's political divisions, media landscape, and leadership influence the way other nations view the country. The conversation tackles some of the biggest questions facing modern journalism: 🔹 Has Donald Trump changed the way the world sees America? 🔹 Can the United States repair its global image? 🔹 How have CNN and Fox News evolved over the last 40 years? 🔹 Is social media forcing news organizations to change how they report stories? 🔹 Are traditional journalistic standards being lost in the race for clicks and engagement? Charles also puts Richard in the ultimate hypothetical scenario: What would he do if he were President of the United States for a day? Drawing on decades of international reporting, Richard reveals what changes he would make and discusses whether America's reputation abroad can still be reshaped. This is an insightful conversation about politics, media, journalism, public perception, and the future of news in an increasingly divided world. 👇 Let us know in the comments: How do you think the rest of the world views America today? #SOSAmerica #RichardRoth #CharlesFeldman #CNN #FoxNews #DonaldTrump #USPolitics #NewsMedia #Journalism #MediaBias #PoliticalNews #InternationalRelations #SocialMedia #CurrentEvents Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2513662/support]

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]
