Beat the Press: Covering Terrorism in New Zealand, the College Admission Scandal



We had a lot to talk about tonight on "Beat the Press" -- how the media (and social media) covered the terrorist attack at the New Zealand mosque, comments from Fox News' Tucker Carlson and Jeanine Pirro (and whether they are or are not examples of truly conservative commentary), the college admission scandal, and our weekly rants and raves (I rave about The Last Column, a project honoring journalists who have been killed). I join host Emily Rooney, WGBH's Callie Crossley, WBZ-TV's Jon Keller, and Northeastern University's Dan Kennedy tonight at 7 on WGBH-TV. But if you want to watch now, you can see the clips right here:
