Since we last spoke
with Mark Joseph Stern of Slate last week a lot has happened, from
Trump tweeting out that he is banning from Transgender Americans from serving
their country in the military to his administration arguing that Federal Civil
Rights Law do not protect gay employees. Mark returns to the show today to talk
all about these issues and so much more.
Since the election of
Donald Trump to the Presidency the importance of a free press has never been
more apparent, and shortly after Trump’s victory The Huffington Post, where I am editor-at-large for Queer Voices,
hired a new editor-in-chief named Lydia Polgreen to lead the website in the uncharted waters that is the age of
Trump. Before joining HuffPost, Lydia spent nearly 15 years at The New York Times in a variety of
positions such as Deputy International Editor, the South Africa bureau chief, a
correspondent for the New Delhi bureau and chief of the West Africa
bureau. Lydia joins me today on the show
to talk about the importance of a free press in the age of Trump and the many
great changes that have been happening over at HuffPost.
