Episode notes

CNN's John Sutter talks about the importance of non partisanship in reporting. He also asks why journalists can't audit regulatory agencies, which he says is more cost effective. "There'r still some real shoe leather journalism being done," writes Sutter. 'But it shows up in odd corners like that,' adds Sutter.

Economist and author Arnold Kling talks about improving government regulation with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. Kling suggests ways to improve the administrative state--the agencies and regulatory bodies that often write the regulations that they enforce. The conversation concludes with Kling's idea for holding public intellectuals accountable for their pronouncements.
