On the all-new “Beat the Press with Emily Rooney,” we analyze the microscopically brief tenure of White House press secretary Katie Zacharia, who lasted just 0.45 Scaramuccis before she was unceremoniously tossed overboard.
In other topics, we look at the debate over whether television should be allowed to cover executions following Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s on-again, off-again plan to livestream the death of the Fort Hood shooter by firing squad; and we check in on two very different AI projects — Mass Daily News, a right-wing propaganda site whose anonymous author recently revealed himself (sub. req.) in a Boston Globe story, and South Shore News, which covers local government in nearly 20 communities. Plus our panel’s Rants and Raves.
Emily was joined by Scott Van Voorhis, the publisher of Contrarian Boston as well as our host; Cosmo Macero, a partner at Seven Letter and a former columnist and editor at the Boston Herald; and me. Our producer extraordinaire is Tonia Magras of Hull Bay Productions.

Dan, you’re becoming increasingly difficult to take seriously. Calling Mass Daily News a “right-wing propaganda site” simply because you disagree with its editorial perspective says more about your own biases than it does about our publication.
I’ve heard people describe you as a left-wing shill, and while I previously dismissed that characterization, comments like this certainly aren’t helping your credibility.
You’re entitled to criticize MDN, but at least make an argument instead of throwing around labels.
