Professor Jay Rosen has taught journalism at New York University since 1986. Widely regarded as a global authority on the relationship between media and politics, in 2003 he started PressThink, an influential thought-leadership platform which addresses the big-picture challenges faced by the media. In this in-depth interview, Jay argues the Trump administration still \u201ccasts a shadow\u201d over US politics - stating \u201cwe live in a two-party system\u2026 one of the two is anti-democratic, and the other is not sure that\u2019s a problem;\u201d attacks Fox News for the \u201ccorrosive\u201d role it plays in America - by \u201cdeliberately and cynically\u201d provoking \u201crage or loyalty;\u201d and condemns the \u201cungovernable\u201d Facebook - which is now \u201ca danger to democracy around the world.\u201d
