The attack on the Capitol on January 6th was touched upon by the author of the catch and kill book. Farrow said he understood the need for better reporting in local communities after interviewing people who participated in the insurrection.
Better reporting is needed in communities around the country. He said that they needed to support their journalists. There will be people who are in this state of rage, who are very manipulable by these political leaders, who want to deploy these authoritarian arguments.
Farrow's analysis is intertwined with a discussion about the rising divisions and distrust between journalists and the public.
Farrow remarked on the consequences of journalism being under threat.
He talked about the threats journalists face in other parts of the world The Committee to Protect Journalists says that at least 28 journalists were killed in the year. Journalists are still being targeted for their work.

I'm pretty sure I'm not going to die the next day. It isn't true if you're a journalist in Russia, Pakistan, and a lot of other places.
