News anchor Dana Bash is the face of CNN’s biggest political nights, a trusted voice in American journalism—and deeply, proudly Jewish. In this powerful episode of Being Jewish with Jonah Platt, Jonah and Dana sit down for an unfiltered conversation about media, politics, identity, and what it means to show up as a Jew.
Dana shares the harrowing true story of her grandparents' survival during the Holocaust, revealing the deep personal history that shapes her today. She also opens up about what it was like reporting live on October 7th, 2023, and how the weight of the moment impacted her both professionally and personally.
Dana dishes on the infamous 2024 presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden that changed the course of American history, and offers her assessment of today’s Democrat and Republican parties. Plus, Dana offers a candid look at how Fox News changed the public’s trust in the media, reshaping the landscape of broadcast journalism, and shares the inspiring story of how she got her start at CNN — from the tape library to one of the most trusted faces in news today.
If you're interested in Jewish identity, Holocaust stories, journalism, media trust, or behind-the-scenes moments at CNN, this episode is a must-listen!
