About this episode

Mark Halperin discusses the implications of Scott Pelley's firing from CBS News and the political dynamics surrounding the L.A. mayoral race.

Mark Halperin’s reported monologue examines the twin political outrages over the L.A. mayoral race and CBS News drama. He explains why the right is hurting its own cause by reflexively alleging voter fraud as the culprit for Spencer Pratt's loss. Mark also breaks down Scott Pelley's firing from "60 Minutes", what the ousted newsman’s "evidence" actually proves about CBS News chief Bari Weiss, and the reality of liberal bias in the Dominant Media. Then, CNN's Michael Smerconish joins to discuss the state of modern journalism and why many Democrats continue to stand by Graham Platner despite his controversies. Plus, Rich Lowry reveals why Marco Rubio may be better positioned than JD Vance as the future leader of the Republican Party.
