    Rob Rosen joined Liz Collin on her podcast and shared his perspective on the media coverage of some of the high-profile cases that changed the course of American history.

    “You had a lot of younger people who were infiltrating newsrooms—who had been radicalized a little bit in college—and they wanted to see journalism, not as a mirror to hold up to society, not as a truth machine, but as a vehicle to make social change, which, as we know, that is not journalism,” Rosen said.

    According to Rosen, people were "fed a steady diet of stories which made it seem as though people of color were being hunted in the streets of America and it exploded."

    While his book covers more, Rosen specifically talked about the case of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Philando Castile, and George Floyd.

  • Ep. 252: Retired Minneapolis cop tells all: Somali fraud, stolen cars, and ‘the last straw’
    Mar 18 2026

    Send a text

    A Minneapolis police officer who worked on the streets for decades spoke with Liz Collin on her podcast.

    Due to anti-law enforcement hostility and retaliation, he asked to remain anonymous. But he spoke candidly about a wide range of topics, including the shocking problems with retirements and recruits, Somali fraud, cars that have been stolen more than a few times, and more.

    But, he says, it was the politics of city hall—preventing cooperation with federal law enforcement and compromising public safety during Operation Metro Surge—that was the final straw for him.

    Mary Restrepo joined Liz Collin on her podcast to talk about how her daughter Cristina was killed by a negligent driver—and how the Hennepin County Attorney's Office has made the family's nightmare even worse.

    She explained how prosecutors, under Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarity, apparently have been doing more for the negligent driver than seeking justice for Cristina, her family, and her 12-year-old son.

    There is a fund set up to help Cristina’s son in the future:
