On this week's episode I talk about Naomi Osaka.  She's been in the spotlight recently as a beacon for strong women and mental health awareness, but has she really done anything other than throw a tantrum about hating press conferences?  I also talk about Brian Stelter's interview with Jen Psaki.  He asks a question so softball, he should stop pretending he's a journalist.  

My guest this week is Steven Kerzner.  We talk about a woman in Scotland who faces up to two years in jail for tweets that were deemed transphobic. We end up talking about about trans activism in general.

All of that and more!  Plus the "Tweets of the Week" and the "Ground News Blindspot of the Week" segments.
