In this week’s edition of “Beat the Press,” Emily Rooney and her panel take up whether a science reporter can hold views that are outside that of the mainstream scientific community, if the media should continue to count on Kellyanne Conway as a credible White House spokesperson, how much the media should cover terror attacks and whether we should be done with the White House Correspondents' Dinner—plus the panel's rants and raves of the week.
