Slant

Every week there's a new outrageous story to react to, but whether it's election meddling, policy brutality, or #MeToo none of these things happened in a vacuum. In each season of Slant, journalist-hosts Maya Francis and Amy Westervelt spend several episodes digging into a long-standing issue that's fueling today's outrage. Up first, "the media", how it's changed in the last few decades, and how those changes have impacted how people consume—and understand—the news.
