Today on the Press Box, Bryan and David start by discussing a social media and journalism trend of screenshotting or sharing a part of an article with no attribution or sign pointing to where the article is from. Then, they discuss Trump’s cellphone (20:57), the coverage of the War in Iran (30:05), and the Washington’s new newspaper battle (35:46). They wrap up with Tales from Capitol Hill with the New York Times’ Carl Hulse (45:28). Plus, the Overworked Twitter Joke of the Week, and David Shoemaker Guesses the Strained-Pun Headline!
