The El Paso Attack: Joan Walsh; Sy Hersh’s memoir; D.D. Pennebaker remembered

Listen HERE
After Trump’s tweets about the El Paso killings, Beto’s response was the one of the best: “He’s not tolerating violence, he’s inciting racism and violence in this country.” Joan Walsh, National Affairs Correspondent for The Nation, examines the mainstream media’s failures in covering Trump.
Also: Seymour Hersh, one of our heroes; he says “don’t underestimate Trump.” He won a Pulitzer Prize in 1970 for his expose of the My Lai massacre—he was a 33-year-old freelancer at the time. Since then, he’s won pretty much every other journalism award. He’s worked as a staff writer for The New York Times and The New Yorker. He’s also written a dozen books, most recently ‘Reporter: A Memoir.’
And we remember D.A. Pennebaker–the legendary documentary filmmaker whose “Don’t Look Back,” about Bob Dylan’s 1965 tour of England, made film history. 8/8/19
