Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey works through a bizarre assortment of political and governmental oddities from across Indiana. Bilbrey covers allegations involving Muncie Police, including claims that one officer ran over a person and another shot a dog without justification. He also covers what he calls a half-assed attempt at the Indiana Secretary of State candidates' debate, a legal fight involving a small school corporation and Senate Enrolled Act 1, and breaking news from Indianapolis about several attorneys leaving the ACLU of Indiana. Bilbrey also warns about the Hoosier Enquirer and owner Gabe Whitley, arguing that local readers should be cautious about relying on what he calls an "AI slop machine" for political information. There's a lot of ground to cover, a lot of BS to sort through, and in this episode, nothing is off the table. #ThePoliticalSpotlight
