Jenna and Dom break down the backlash over Jake Tapper’s new book Original Sin, co-written with Axios’ Alex Thompson. It examines former President Joe Biden’s decline and if the press looked the other way. It’s pushed questions about trust in legacy media right back into the spotlight.

Then they sit down with Shelby D. Smith, a journalist and digital creator making the news easier to follow on TikTok and Instagram. They get into where people are actually getting their news now and what that shift means for the future of journalism.

This is Jenna and Dom’s last full episode of the season. They’ll be checking in now and then over the summer, but the new season kicks off after Memorial Day.
