Editor’s note: Welcome to another segment of “Beat the Press with Emily Rooney,” now a regular Contrarian Boston feature. Today, we take a look at the growing furor over New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof’s piece alleging that Israeli guards sexually abused and raped Palestinian prisoners, Miami cops suing Ben Affleck and Matt Damon over a movie about a real drug raid that added a fictional storyline about police corruption, and Spencer Pratt shaking up the LA mayoral race with wild, AI campaign videos.
Emily Rooney was joined by Media Nation’s Dan Kennedy, a journalism professor at Northeastern University, Jon Keller, the political analyst for WBZ-TV News, and Scott Van Voorhis, editor and founder of Contrarian Boston.
And thanks to Tonia Magras, principal owner of Hull Bay Productions, who produced today’s piece. Tonia was the supervising producer for “Beat the Press” when it was on GBH and is the principal owner of Hull Bay Productions.
