On the October 24th edition of Your Call, it’s our Friday media roundtable. This week, we’ll discuss coverage of Super PACs. Once again, the midterm elections are projected to be the most expensive in US history. We'll also discuss the recent Supreme Court ruling that allows Texas to enforce a voter-I.D. law and the unexpected closure of the San Francisco Bay Guardian. We’ll be joined by the Center for Public Integrity’s Dave Levinthal, McClatchy’s Mike Doyle and 48 hills’ Tim Redmond. Join the conversation on the next Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
Guests:
Dave Levinthal, senior political reporter Center for Public Integrity
