It’s estimated that the candidate earned somewhere north of 2 billion dollars in free media coverage during that time. For the networks, former president Trump was the Midas Touch, netting them much needed advertising dollars.

Last week, CNN hosted a Town Hall with Trump in New Hampshire that brings the question top of mind once again. CNN has subsequently come under heavy criticism for hosting someone who is well known to spread lies and disinformation and that it would be impossible to fact check him live. Can the mainstream media cover Trump responsibly in his 2024 run?

At some point in the early 2000s, Chicago police Sgt. Ronald Watts and a group of cops began charging people in and around a now demolished housing project with crimes they did not commit. Even faking evidence of gun and drug crimes. They did this for about a decade. Since 2016, Chicago area prosecutors have moved to dismiss at least 226 convictions all tied to Watts. That’s the largest series of exonerations in that city’s history. But what's justice and what happens to Watts.

5 Things Sunday host James Brown discusses the scale of the problem with USA TODAY Criminal Justice Reporter Grace Hauck, the history of Chicago's police corruption with The Exoneration Project's Sean Star and the impact of of Watts' actions with Shawntell Nile, the sister of the late JaJuan Nile. JaJuan Nile did time in prison after he was wrongfully convicted of cocaine possession.

A corrupt Chicago cop destroyed hundreds of lives. Now victims want justice.
