The Media Show: Reporting Biden鈥檚 Health

Is the White House press corps doing its job? Also on the show, reporting from Glastonbury, one of the world鈥檚 largest music festivals.

In the aftermath of his halting debate performance, the editorial boards of some major US newspapers have called on Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race. We ask why this issue is only being discussed widely now, and talk to Annie Linskey, White House reporter, The Wall Street Journal, who raised a comprehensive set of concerns about Biden鈥檚 health but faced a backlash from others in the media. We also speak to Nayeema Raza, co-host, Semafor鈥檚 Mixed Signals podcast and Jill Abramson, former executive editor, The New York Times

Also on the show, we hear from El Hunt, commissioning editor for The Evening Standard, about what it is like reporting from the Glastonbury Festival and hear Ros Atkin's remix of the 大象传媒 News' theme tune in his debut DJ set at Glastonbury and how Louis Tomlinson of One Direction bought football home to Worthy Farm.
