Oliver Darcy, Nicole Hemmer, and Eric Deggans join Brian Stelter for a discussion of how gas prices are depicted and distorted. "Fox is distorting this story to pin it on Biden," Darcy says.
Former Walt Disney TV president Garth Ancier discusses Disney CEO Bob Chapek's about-face on Florida's so-called "don't say gay" bill. Eric Deggans also analyzes the controversy.
Former New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof discusses the state of press freedom in Russia and beyond. He says the death of filmmaker Brent Renaud in Ukraine "sends a chill through every reporter" who has been in war zones.
Maria Ressa says social media platforms have allowed a "splinter in reality." Ressa says "the world's largest delivery platform of news has actually prioritized the spread of lies laced with anger and hate over facts."
Award-winning American journalist Brent Renaud, age 50, was killed by Russian forces in Irpin, Ukraine, according to Kyiv police. Police also said Russian troops wounded another American journalist.
Disturbing photos of death and destruction in Ukraine are being widely shared on social media and, in some cases, published by news outlets. "We need to show the reality," Oliver Darcy says. "War is ugly and horrifying, and we're covering a war."
