Cliff May: ‘Journalists Are Ideologues’ | Top Story, Ep. 25

Veteran journalist and Foundation for the Defense of Democracies founder Clifford May sits down for a frank conversation with JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin.

The two discuss the threat from Iran and China, in addition to the collapse of journalism.

In this far-reaching conversation, they delve into the impact of the Afghanistan debacle, the Iran nuclear talks, whether climate change is a security problem, and the way partisanship has infected the mainstream media.

“Top Story” also airs on JBS-TV.
