Clay is joined by CNN’s Brian Stelter to discuss the state of journalism in 2020 and whether there’s still hope for objectivity.  Is there anything to stop the networks from abandoning facts for clicks?  Or are we doomed to follow the algorithms into conflict and chaos?

Moderator Clay Aiken has sold 6 million albums, authored a New York Times bestseller, and ran for Congress in North Carolina in 2014.
