Description
Marty Baron ran The Washington Post’s newsroom for nine years.
In that time, Marty clashed with then-president Donald Trump.
He pacified rebellions from his younger and increasingly more
ideological staff.
And he partnered with Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos to take on
arguably the biggest disrupter of all: technology.
He’s written about all of this — and a lot more — in his new book,
Collision of Power: Trump, Bezos, and The Washington Post.
Today, Marty is joining Playbook co-author and Deep Dive host Ryan Lizza
to spill the tea on what actually happened between Bezos and Trump; what
the media should be doing to earn your trust; and whether billionaires
like Jeff Bezos are secretly pulling the strings behind closed doors.
Ryan Lizza is a Playbook co-author for POLITICO.
Marty Baron is the retired executive editor of The Washington Post.
Kara Tabor is a producer for POLITICO audio.
Alex Keeney is a senior producer for POLITICO audio.

Rep. Jerry Nadler opposed the House antisemitism bill. Here's why: Rep. Jerry Nadler, who has represented a big piece of Manhattan since 1992, is one of the longest-serving Jewish members of the House. He’s also a Columbia University alumnus: he was on campus in 1968 when police cleared Hamilton Hall of anti-Vietnam war protesters. Nadler is a close observer of the Middle East and the politics of Israel in the U.S. And he’s the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, where he’s long seen himself as a champion of civil liberties. All of this background helped put Nadler at the center of a swirl of events this week as pro-Palestinian protesters at Columbia were ejected from Hamilton Hall, as President Biden made his first public remarks about campus protests, as a ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel seemed tantalizingly close and as the House passed, by an overwhelming majority of 320 to 91, the Antisemitism Awareness Act — a bill against which Nadler led the oppositio by Playbook Deep Dive
