The Times Need A Changing

Severe weather continued across the Deep South, after intense tornadoes struck Mississippi and Alabama over the weekend, leaving at least 26 people dead and destroying rural towns in one of the poorest areas of the country.

A collective of New York Times contributors released an open letter to the newspaper last month, calling out widespread editorial bias in its reporting on transgender, non⁠-⁠binary, and gender nonconforming people. Freelance journalist Harron Walker and TV critic Sean Collins, two co-authors of the original letter, join us to check in on how the Times has responded.

And in headlines: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fired his own defense minister for speaking out against a controversial plan to reform the country's judicial system, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced plans to station tactical nuclear weapons in neighboring Belarus, and the Los Angeles Unified School District reached a deal with 30,000 service workers after last week’s massive strike.
