This week on The Common Bridge, Rich's guest is M.L. Elrick, a Pulitzer Prize and Emmy Award winning Investigative Reporter. ML leads the discussion from the intensely competitive “keep ‘em honest” role of the 4th Estate to national media degrading from reporting facts to the spread of affirmation programming. All beginning with a current story about how closure of a media room at City Hall in Detroit, Michigan thwarts the mission. The media access to City Hall helped expose the crimes of former Detroit Mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick. This ultimately led to his resignation from office and criminal conviction in 2013. Important lessons from a professional who has led the defense of our democracy as a member of the free press.
