Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The news media plays a critical role in framing the legal and political fault-lines in Supreme Court showdowns. But in the era of sensational coverage and 24-hour news cycles, many feel it has been manipulated by various interest groups. Kojo explores the coverage of judicial confirmations, and gets tips for differentiating between groups with innocuous-sounding names like "The Center for American Progress" and "Progress for America."
