Enemies of the State? with Marty Baron & S.E. Cupp

Enemies of the State? with Marty Baron & S.E. Cupp

It was an absolute pleasure to welcome Marty Baron, former Executive Editor of the Washington Post and Boston Globe, renowned for his editorial excellence, and CNN’s S.E. Cupp, widely respected for her sharp insights and principled conservatism, to The Common Good.

Baron and Cupp joined us for a vital discussion on the chilling effect on the press, government officials, business leaders, and others deemed enemies in the wake of President Donald Trump’s threats of revenge and prosecution. Just one month into the first "retribution administration," we’re already seeing those threats take shape. 

If you missed out, you can catch up by watching on our youtube! Video COMING SOON.
