EPISODE 16: NANCY ROMMELMANN

In war, the first casualty is truth — and that includes the upheaval in Portland. Just ask Nancy Rommelmann, whose pieces for Reason Magazine feel like the only neutral dispatches from the epicenter of the country’s nervous breakdown. Reporters there are subject to harassment and a bizarre set of rules designed to obfuscate bad behaviour by the agitators who appear at night to cause trouble. Legitimate social justice actions are now overshadowed by murder and arson in a city where even a pandering mayor isn’t safe.
