Press Play with Madeleine Brand
Marriage Laws, Got Milk?, and the Business of Online Dating
On today's Press Play: Defending same-sex marriage, declining milk sales, the growing world of online dating, secrets of the Vatican, and TV rating struggles.
By Madeleine Brand • • 52m ListenAttorney General Eric Holder says gay rights are one of “the defining civil rights challenges of our time,” and he’s encouraging state AGs to avoid defending laws against same-sex marriage. We talk about that, plus the milk industry is trying to rebrand after slumping sales. We get into the niche worlds of online dating and hear from a guy who hacked his way to true love. Plus, after years of stories that have shocked Catholics and non-Catholics alike, there is still much we’ve never heard about, until now. And Piers Morgan is out at CNN. We talk about cable news’ attempts to boost ratings.
