The Political Scene | The New Yorker | Mar 28, 2019

Last week, the special counsel Robert Mueller submitted his long-awaited report on Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Many have criticized the press for stoking hysteria around the collusion narrative, and for bias against Trump. Steve Coll joins Dorothy Wickenden to discuss the media’s coverage of the Mueller investigation, and the symbiotic relationship between the President and the press.
