As Steven Galloway’s defamation trial continues, his supporters say he’s finally getting justice, but some also are demanding accountability from media outlets for their coverage of the case over the last decade. 

 

Rahim Mohamed joins Jesse Brown to dig into the archives to consider if mistakes were made and what can we learn from the Galloway case with the benefit of hindsight.  

 

Plus, Chrystia Freeland spills the Trudeau tea in her new book “Unreliable Boyfriend.”
