The Gist - Jake Tapper: Original Sin, Ongoing Fracturing

Jake Tapper returns to dissect his book Original Sin and the failures of mainstream media to report on Joe Biden’s decline.  He traces how social pressures, cultural taboos, and partisan incentive structures are ongoing threats to the type of journalism he practices and associates with the best forms of truth-telling. Tapper says CNN still strives to flesh out the full story, but acknowledges the shrinking market for non-ideological reporting. Plus, a glimpse into the spectacle of immigration enforcement, where shocking imagery is a Presidential tactic and a public turnoff.

But some U.S. air traffic controllers say there's a much deeper problem: a nationwide staffing shortage that leaves controllers overworked and employee morale low.

NPR's Joel Rose and Joe Hernandez spoke with five current and former air traffic controllers to find out what improvements they want to see.
