Dylan Byers joins guest host Julia Ioffe to unpack the fallout from the $16 million CBS–Trump settlement, and what it reveals about the state of press freedom, media ownership, and Trump’s increasingly autocratic playbook. They also tackle the broader crisis in media: collapsing valuations, fragmentation, and the industry’s struggle to push back against Trump’s legal tactics.
