Cooper Asks Sanders If Trump 'Is Trying to Whitewash American History'
CNN’s Anderson Cooper hosted a town hall with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday, and, even by CNN’s standards, it was quite the softball session.

NPR Hosts Biden Book Author: 'Biden Was Capable.' Was NPR Culpable?
National Public Radio’s Fresh Air interview program, hosted by Terry Gross, brought on journalist Chris Whipple Tuesday to talk about his new book on former President Biden and how Biden’s handlers concealed his mental decline from the public -- and themselves?
