Politics and media coverage to the forefront

With a federal election looming and the Manitoba Legislature about to resume, and following on the heels of the interview we did with provincial grit leader Jon Gerrard about the state of health care and Regional Health Authorities, politics and media will be front and centre on the show in the next couple of days.

Today at 4.10 Pm, the News Director of Global TV in Winnipeg Jon Lovlin will take time for a conversation about the style and content of news in Winnipeg; Jon is a good friend of the show as you can see:




Also, Professor Levinski will take a look at the life of respected Holocaust survivor Phillip Weiss, who passed away yesterday at age 83; and we'll have a special interview with Niverville race car driver David Richert, who is competing on the Volkswagen's Clean Diesel Jetta TDI Cup and will be throwing out the first pitch at Friday night's Goldeye's playoff game at 7 PM.

As well we'll be featuring the audio from the following Fox News clip where Megyn Kelly shredded Us Weekly for their blatant partisan attack on Republican V-P nominee Gov. Sarah Palin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjQhiarIQaw

Tomorrow, local blogger Luc Lewandoski of Hacks and Wonks will look towards the federal election and the conflicts between MSM and bloggers in the way the campaign issues are covered and defined; Winnipeg Sun legislative reporter Paul Turenne will have a preview of next week's resumed sitting at the big house on Broadway; and Jon Waldman of Slam!Sports will report on the opening of the NFL season and other matters of sporting debate.

Don't forget we are now replayed every Monday to Thursday night at 11 PM on 92.9 Kick FM, and there are 21 hours of TGCTS on-air every week.
