    #269 Ruthless Or Toothless? The News Biz Complaints Department
    Who do you turn to when the news fucks up? It turns out there's a council for that.
    Jesse Brown
    Host & Publisher

    Pat Perkel and John Fraser from the National NewsMedia Council talk about the powers and limits of their organization. They can tell a news org to print a correction, but can they stop a columnist from being racist? And what happens when a media outlet won’t be deterred by shame?

    This episode is sponsored by Endy and Hover.
