Disaster Porn, Manafort Pleads, and Predictions

With Hurricane Florence bearing down, we discuss how the media covers disasters. Paul Manafort cops a plea. Plus, Botham Jean, Cynthia Nixon, and football talk.

Show Rundown:

The Big POS - Does the media’s wall-to-wall coverage of Hurricane Florence constitute “disaster porn?” When every storm is the storm of the century, does the media begin to sound like the boy who cried wolf? We weigh in, and discuss Trump’s boneheaded comments on Puerto Rico.

Hot Takes - An off duty officer tragically shot and killed a black man, Botham Jean, and story doesn’t add up. Cynthia Nixon lost big, and what it means for the left.

POS Nuggets - Some breaking news as Paul Manafort cops a plea. What does it mean for him, and for the Special Counsel’s ongoing investigation. Plus, football scheduling and rescheduling decisions have got to improve.

Predictions - Three college games, three pro games.
