Scott Pelley Fired From 60 Minutes, Jess Craven on Creators vs Journalists, Maine Elections & Could Nithya Raman Still Beat Spencer Pratt?

from The Moment LIVE! Politics & Culture, Explained · host The Moment LIVE

Rebecca Grossman, the LA socialite who hit two little boys in a crosswalk while street racing at 83 miles per hour, was got a $176 million civil verdict. Her co-defendant Scott Erickson had to make a PSA about not driving too fast. Meredith Lynch and Rebecca Sananès on why that's not the same thing.   Then: the New York Times dropped a sweeping Graham Platner story, ex-girlfriends ranging from 2013 to 2021, physical violence allegations, and a Heritage Foundation operative who says she knew about the tattoo before he did. Pink flags add up to red flags. And if Graham Platner were a woman, he'd have been canceled on day one.   Then Jess Craven, activist, political content creator and author of Chop Wood Carry Water on Substack, on Scott Pelley being fired from 60 Minutes after standing ten toes down and whether corporate journalism is officially dead, the line between creator and journalist and why it matters, the Maine Senate race and whether one more revelation changes everything, and the California primary: Nithya Raman is catching up to Spencer Pratt and progressive votes are still coming in.   The Moment LIVE is hosted by Meredith Lynch and Rebecca Sananès.
