On this edition of Your Call’s Media Roundtable, we’re discussing coverage of the election, Donald Trump's victory, and Kamala Harris's loss.
Over 73 million Americans have elected a convicted criminal who tried to overturn the 2020 election results. Trump has vowed to be a dictator on day one, and has called the press fake news and the enemy of the people. How far will he go and how should the press cover his second term?
