Now onto the episode…

The media should choose which stories to tell based on what's most important and relevant. But all too often inside newsrooms, those decisions are instead based on something else: how it will make the news agencies themselves look.

That's why in recent days, a huge story was, relatively speaking, buried. It involves both major parties, the presidential candidates, and a Trump move that should make the “hypocrisy meter” explode.

Also in Episode 21:

• why the media should never let Julian Assange get away with calling himself a journalist

• media misses from the Democratic National Convention

• a prominent journalist actually apologizes for getting something wrong

• parents of an Israeli-American hostage have a powerful, beautiful moment at the DNC
