Why is Trump’s Campaign Suing a Small TV Station in Wisconsin?




On the Media show

Summary: <p>In this week's pod extra, we bring you an episode from <a href="https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/trumpinc">Trump, Inc.</a>, a podcast from our friends at WNYC Studios, about a new threat to press freedom. This year, President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign filed defamation lawsuits against three of the country’s most prominent news organizations: the <em>New York Times</em>, the <em>Washington Post</em> and CNN. Then it filed another suit against a somewhat lower-profile news organization: northern Wisconsin’s WJFW-TV, which serves the 134th-largest market in the country. In this piece, Trump, Inc. reporters <a href="https://twitter.com/Meg_Cramer">Meg Cramer</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/katherrun">Katherine Sullivan</a> tell the story of the Trump campaign's aggressive and exceedingly expensive legal operation. </p>
