August 26, 2022 - Journalists Under Threat; Savage Social Media; the Science of Masks in Schools

11:10 | The White House hired social media strategist Megan Coyne a while back, and it's paying immediate dividends. Supriya Dwivedi and Ryan lead with yesterday's all-out Twitter blitz taking down Republican misinformation re: student loan forgiveness. We also discuss "lack of consensus" re: masks in Ontario schools this fall, and Dr. Leslyn Lewis comparing vaccine mandates to the Holocaust.

34:31 | In what proves to be one of the most candid, insightful, and impactful Real Talk Round Tables in the history of this show, Nora Loreto, Erica Ifill, and Kristin Raworth shine a light on what appears to be a coordinated online campaign of threats and harassment targeting women working in politics and journalism. You won't want to miss this extended-length, pull-no-punches discussion on how we as individuals (and a collective) need to hit this problem head-on.
