b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 President Joe Biden is now one year into his presidency, and Donald Trump is one year out of office. Have the media figured out how to properly cover either of them?\\xa0 Biden's first year in office has been rocky at times, but also extraordinarily successful on a number of legislative and economic issues. Media analyst ERIC BOEHLERT, publisher of the Press Run newsletter, discusses the corporate media's reporting on Biden and how it compares to coverage of Trump's first year in office, finding specific, stark differences - - and not in a particularly good way. Boehlert also discusses the media's coverage of Republican attacks on voting rights and elections, amid signs that the media do not appear to fully grasp the unprecedented danger of this tenuous moment for American democracy itself.\\xa0 Also today: The U.S. Supreme Court rejected Trump's bid to quash release of hundreds of White House documents to the bipartisan U.S. House Committee investigating the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol and Trump's attempt to steal the 2020 Presidential election. NY State Attorney General Letitia James asked a court to enforce subpoenas of Trump and two of his adult children, filing documents detailing 'significant additional evidence' in her civil probe into allegations of bank, insurance and tax fraud by Trump and his Trump Organization. New reporting indicates that in a 2020 deposition, Eric Trump invoked his 5th amendment right against self-incrimination more than 500 times in six hours.
