On this episode of Fault Lines, hosts Garland Nixon and Lee Stranahan discuss the nature of the political media in Washington DC and how it functions as a whole. Why does "access journalism" seem to dominate in nation's capital and what impact does this have on the quality of the reporting being passed along to the public as news?

Recently, the House Judiciary Committee conducted an interview with former FBI Director James Comey. Author John Hoge joins Garland and Lee to provide his main takeaway from the released transcript of this interview which relates to foreign meddling in US elections.

Democrat Kyrsten Sinema defeated Republican Martha McSally in the Arizona Senate election this past November. Despite this defeat, McSally will still become a member of the US Senate as she has been appointed to fill the seat formerly held by John McCain. Political analyst Dustin Stockton joins the hosts to give his thoughts on McSally's appointment and the current makeup of the US Senate.

Despite all of its problems, #RussiaGate continues to chug along as the calendar prepares roll into 2019. Political Cartoonist Ted Rall joins the program for a conversation about how long #RussiaGate will last and to discuss what we can expect from Congress in its new term.
