Wesley Lowery, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of "American Whitelash," joins Steve Krakauer to discuss problems with cable news, "riot porn" and the Acela Media's coverage of protests and riots, what really happened in Ferguson and how many have no idea about the reality and lessons, why "partisan politics is the enemy of nuanced truth," coverage of gun violence and adherence to narratives, the media's destructive need for speed, the book's dedication to one of Lowery's best friends who passed away from cancer - and how important it is to have conversations and especially uncomfortable ones, how social media makes our cultural discourse harder and worse, the need to allow for people to make mistakes while having discussions, evolution of the corporate media and dire state of the national press today, importance of introspection for journalists, and more.
