The Sound of Silence - Special Guest Ruth Marcus

Amarica's Constitution

It's 200 episodes for Amarica's Constitution, and we mark the occasion by bringing you a key expert for an in-depth exploration of a breaking development. Ruth Marcus, long-time Washington Post columnist, editor, Pulitzer Prize nominee, and insider, joins us to explore the inexplicable: the last-minute decision by the Post and its owner, billionaire Jeff Bezos, to withhold what would have been an endorsement for Vice President Harris for election to the Presidency. What goes on in an editorial board? What is the role of the owner? What are the alternatives for editors, columnists, and reporters? Was Bezos intimidated by Trump? What does all this mean for the nation? We have the perfect means to explore this shocker: a frank and unhurried inquiry with our friend, Ruth Marcus. What a way to mark our bicentennial.
