Sexual assault and harassment allegations have rocked the worlds of
entertainment, politics and the media in recent weeks. The movement has made
enormous progress to exposing these offenses and treating them seriously. At
the same time, partisanship, attempts to discredit the women and Trump’s own
record of harassment cloud the discussion. Erin Gloria Ryan of The Daily Beast
has written about these scandals and how the issues have been framed in
dangerous ways. She joins me on the show today to examine the #MeToo moment.
Since we last spoke
with John Nichols of The Nation a lot has happened—Trump is
moving to push Haitian refugees back to a country in disarray, the FCC wants to
make the internet a corporate affair, and the GOP tax plan could soon pass.
John returns to the show today to talk all about these issues and whole lot
more, John is The Nation’s
national-affairs correspondent, a contributing writer for The Progressive and In These
Times and the associate editor of The Capital Times, the daily newspaper in Madison, Wisconsin.
