The roundtable is actually round. Stephanie Curtis/MPR News.

Here's the audio from today's journalism roundtable on MPR News with Kerri Miller.

Topics included how journalists determine when there's false equivalency, how we're desensitized by our media and how that leads to even greater atrocities by terrorists (we disagree), and how "nothing animates a discussion like the absence of facts."

Guests: Gayle Golden, University of Minnesota; Duchesne Drew, outgoing managing editor for operations at the Star Tribune; Bob Collins, NewsCut blogger.
