On this edition of Your Call, we'll continue our discussion about the GOP's public media cuts, which will cause KALW to lose $400,000 a year for the next two years. Republicans have tried to do this for decades. Donald Trump made it happen.
We'll also discuss the administration's ongoing assault on the press and major media outlets capitulating to his threats. What will it take for a free and independent press to survive?
