Episode description

In this segment of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards revisits the 2020 controversy where the Mississippi Free Press aggressively targeted Petal Mayor Hal Marx, publishing articles like "Petal Mayor Marx's Tweets About George Floyd Draw Calls to Resign" that amplified demands for his resignation over comments suggesting Floyd's death was due to an overdose rather than police misconduct. Edwards argues the mayor was vindicated by later evidence, slams the outlet for failing to issue a retraction or apology, and contrasts it with their silence on related scandals like Minnesota's Somali fraud, calling out media bias in unfiltered style.
