Episode 6
In this episode, Elon Musk and his purchase of Twitter, Kevin McCarthy is caught on tape talking about asking Donald Trump for his resignation, 'Libs of Tik Tok' and why Tucker Carlson so infatuated with it, and Dan Kennedy proves correct that CNN+ was 'headed for an iceberg', closing shop only a month after it's release. That and the panels 'rants and raves' of the week.
Host Emily Rooney with Joanna Weiss of Experience Magazine, Dan Kennedy from Northeastern University, and Jon Keller of WBZ-TV.
