Michael Crick and Anne Applebaum discuss tensions between the BBC and UK politicians.

In the U.K., tensions between the ruling Conservative Party and the British media are rising.

And since his win, he has threatened the BBC's primary source of funding: the license fee. Journalist Michael Crick and historian Anne Applebaum join the program to discuss the situation.
