The Current for February 6, 2019
Today on The Current: Will Tuesday’s state of the union address get U.S. President Donald Trump any closer to his aims, including re-election in 2020?; plus, Facebook’s early mantra was to “move fast and break things,” but are critics right to say it has moved too fast, and broke almost everything?; and we speak to Kerri Rawson about how she put her life back together after finding out her father was a notorious serial killer.
Today on The Current:
- U.S. President Donald Trump called for unity in his state of the union address Tuesday, but one analyst says he also managed to undermine his own message of bipartisan co-operation.
- Roger McNamee was an early adopter of Facebook, and an early believer. While he was once even an adviser to founder Mark Zuckerberg, today McNamee is one of the tech giant's fiercest critics. He speaks to host Anna Maria Tremonti about his new book Zucked: Waking up to the Facebook Catastrophe.
- Fourteen years ago, Kerri Rawson found out her father was a notorious serial killer, the so-called BTK killer. She's written a book about trying to reconcile the man who raised her with the horrific acts he committed, and how she put her life back together, despite facing online abuse after she forgave him.
