Another violent attack on Trump brings a short-lived truce in his battle with the media

Another violent attack on Trump brings a short-lived truce in his battle with the media

Hugh is joined by Irish Times Washington correspondent Keith Duggan to talk about the dramatic events at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, where an intrusion by a gunman interrupted what was supposed to be president Donald Trump's first appearance at the annual event where the worlds of politics, media and celebrity socialise.


They then talk about Trump's complicated and contradictory relationship with the media: his contempt for mainstream outlets, his hunger for their approval and his administration's pivot to podcasters and social media influencers during the 2024 campaign.


In part two they look at the evolution of conservative media figure Tucker Carlson and his recent public break with Trump over the Iran conflict.
