Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

(Classic) Dateline’s Josh Mankiewicz Takes You Inside the True Crime Machine
Q: What responsibility do storytellers carry when attention can drive outcomes for real people?
Attention is power, and journalists must challenge the official narratives while ensuring sensitive, accurate portrayals that respect the victims and their families, avoiding sensationalism and seeking systemic insights.
(Classic) Dateline’s Josh Mankiewicz Takes You Inside the True Crime Machine
Q: What has changed in Dateline's approach to covering marginalized victims over the years?
We worked to break unwritten rules about who counts as a 'real' victim, expanding coverage to include Black and Missing Indigenous women and other groups, and we've collaborated with advocacy groups to improve visibility and support for affected families.
(Classic) Dateline’s Josh Mankiewicz Takes You Inside the True Crime Machine
Q: So how does a case even get on Dateline's radar in the first place?
We monitor newspapers nationwide, call sources, and assess whether there is a compelling story beyond initial local coverage; many cases require vetting through story meetings and the willingness of families to participate.
(Classic) The Constitution: A Scam by Rich White Men, for Rich White Men
Q: What are the most promising avenues for reforming the courts or the Constitution itself to better protect marginalized communities?
The discussion centers on coordinating political pressure to reform the Court, potentially expand it, and more aggressively interpret the Reconstruction Amendments, as well as adopting amendments (like a vigorous Equal Protection test) that ensure protections are not easily rolled back by a conservative majority.
(Classic) The Constitution: A Scam by Rich White Men, for Rich White Men
Q: So do you think I'm overstating it? Is the Constitution a scam, or is it still doing what it was supposed to do?
Elie argues that while parts of the Constitution have never fully served everyone, the real challenge is how the Court's composition shapes interpretation; with the right number of liberal justices, it can be used to advance robust rights through original intent when appropriate, but there's a structural bias that needs to be addressed.
