I’m guest hosting Your Call’s Media Roundtable this morning at 10am PT. First, we’ll discuss the media coverage of Kevin McCarthy’s ouster as speaker of the House this week, initiated by eight far-right members of his own party. McCarthy’s 269-day reign as speaker was ended by a 216-210 vote.

How is the media covering the extremists’ power play within the GOP? We’ll hear from:

• Mark Jacob, freelance writer, former metro editor at the Chicago Tribune and Sunday editor at the Chicago Sun-Times, and author of the website Stop the Presses
• John Nichols, national-affairs correspondent for The Nation and the co-author of It’s OK to be Angry About Capitalism

Then we’ll talk about the new session of the Supreme Court, which started Monday. The justices will examine important cases on major issues such as free speech, gun rights, abortion, voting rights, and a case that could threaten the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and potentially numerous other federal agencies, among others.

Joining us to discuss will be Chris Geidner, award winning legal journalist, author and publisher of the website Law Dork.

Tune in at 91.7 FM in the San Francisco Bay Area or stream live at 10am PT. What comments or questions do you have for our guests? Call 866-798-TALK to join the conversation!
