Media coverage of the DNC and the anti-war protests in Chicago

On this edition of Your Call's media roundtable, we're discussing coverage of the Democratic Party's convention.

Thousands of anti-war protesters marched outside of the convention demanding an end to Israel’s military assault on Gaza and US arms sales to Israel.

Guests:

Dan Froomkin, editor of Press Watch, and former reporter for HuffPost, The Washington Post, and The Intercept

John Nichols, national affairs correspondent for The Nation, and co-author of "It's OK to Be Angry About Capitalism"
