Host Paul Fischer's weekly musical news mash-up. The "30-second soundbite" (often less than that, actually) is a broadcast news staple. But these soundbites often fail to convey needed information. That's become increasingly clear. This week's program looks beyond the standard 30 second bite to explore, among other things, the US Supreme Court's oral arguments on The Voting Rights Act, Sen. Elizabeth Warren's exchange with Fed Chmn. Ben Bernanke, Sen Lindsey Graham's gun background check argument with the police chief of Milwaukee, and the "threat" dispute between Bob Woodward and a top economic aide to President Obama.
