On the this edition of Your Call's Media Roundtable, we discuss the new FRONTLINE documentary, Trump’s Comeback. The film examines key moments in Trump's life and career, his lies about the result of the 2020 election, felony convictions, and his return to the Oval Office. Late in the program we look at the media coverage of ICE raids, Trump’s immigrants crackdown and the mass deportations happening across the country
Guests:
