Today on Boston Public Radio:
We opened lines to talk with listeners about America’s worsening coronavirus crisis, and why you think the United States ended up where it is today.
Frederick Wiseman discussed his new in-depth documentary about Boston Marty Walsh's administration, titled “City Hall.” Wiseman is the legendary documentarian behind films like “Titicut Follies” and “High School.” “City Hall” is available to stream now on the Coolidge Corner Theatre’s Virtual Screening Room.
Emily Rooney talked about the spread of election misinformation on Fox News, read a COVID-themed list of fixations and fulminations, and previewed Friday’s episode of Beat the Press. Rooney is host of Beat the Press, which you can watch Friday nights at 7.
Callie Crossley talked about Rudy Giuliani's chaotic press conference at Four Seasons Total Landscaping, Stacey Abrams’ efforts ahead of January's runoff election in Georgia, and her excitement about America’s (soon to be) first second gentleman Doug Emhoff. Crossley hosts GBH’s Under the Radar and Beat the Press.
Rachael Rollins joined us for our monthly “Ask the D.A.” series. She discussed her views on the prosecution style of Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, Netflix's true crime series “Trial 4," about a Boston murder case, and who she'd like to see appointed as attorney general under President-elect Joe Biden. Then, as always, Rollins responded to questions and comments from listeners. Rollins is the district attorney for Suffolk County.
