JD Vance whines because Margaret Brennan wanted him to tell the truth. Ben riffs. Curtis Lawrence talks journalism in the post-truth era, when Trump and Vance believe they should be able to say whatever they want. Even if they’re lying. Also, the Lu Palmer legacy. And the Abe Peck legacy. And reflections on the disappearance of great neighborhood high schools, like Harlan. A lifelong Chicagoan, Curtis is an editor, reporter, playwright and journalism professor, who’s worked at the Sun-Times, Block Club and other outlets.
