Erik Wemple
Saturday, 31 May, 2025

Mediaite editor Aidan McLaughlin speaks with The Washington Post's media critic Erik Wemple about what's going on behind the scenes at the paper, what's behind its latest pivot, and what the future looks like for The Post. They also cover President Trump's relationship with Fox News and the recent appointment of Jeanine Pirro as D.C.'s interim U.S. attorney. In the second half of the episode, Aidan talks with Mediaite founding editor Colby Hall about a series of controversial pardons issued this week by Trump, and how the media is reacting to them.
