Trump’s New Favorite Magazine?
Good morning from the Hive newsroom! Donald Trump expressed frustration over the weekend with his much-criticized coronavirus briefings—which even his political allies support scaling back—and is said to be weighing the ouster of Alex Azar.
Today, Caleb Ecarma reports how the The American Conservative advocated MAGA-like views on foreign intervention and trade before Trump, and now aims to be the Atlantic of the right and a staple in the White House. And as CNN soon turns 40, Lisa Napoli revisits its coverage of the 1981 Reagan assassination attempt, a turning point in TV news. Thanks for reading!
