The Mincing Rascals this week are John Williams of WGN Radio, Eric Zorn, publisher of The Picayune Sentinel, multi-media journalist Brandon Pope, author of Brandon Pope’s Screening Room, and political pundit Marj Halperin. The Rascals kick off the podcast talking about the results of yesterday’s Illinois primary. What were the major takeaways from the results? The Chicago Teachers Union wants students to take a day off of school on May 1st for civil engagement. Mayor Johnson supports this idea. Do the Rascals? Next, the Rascals discuss the ongoing war in Iran. The Rascals wonder what the results will be when the war ends. What does victory look like? President Trump DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin testified before a Senate committee today. Do the Rascals think Mullin will be nominated? John also reads an email from a Mincing Rascals listener about last week’s discussion on AI and journalism. Also this week, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr threatened to revoke broadcasters’ licenses over the Iran War coverage. Do the Rascals believe the media has covered this war fairly? And finally, it’s time for red light, yellow light, green light. What are the Rascals recommending (or not recommending) this week?
