In this episode of One Hour Detours, I sit down with Liz Collin — Alpha News reporter and creator of "The Fall of Minneapolis" — for an unfiltered conversation about our city. We debate whether Minneapolis is a “failed city,” what it means to actually live here today, and why Liz uses such strong language to describe political opponents and local leaders.We cover: • Liz Collin’s controversial documentary The Fall of Minneapolis • Claims about Governor Tim Walz, Alpha News reporting, and media bias • How Minneapolis is portrayed as a “failed city” vs. lived experience • The future of new media, political rhetoric, and local journalismThis isn’t a softball interview. We challenge each other on how the media frames crime, politics, and public safety in Minnesota. Whether you agree or disagree with Liz Collin, you’ll come away with a deeper understanding of the debate over Minneapolis’ future.Recorded at the Kickernick Building in beautiful, downtown Minneapolis.Art by Megan Moore - you can see her works at https://www.meganmoore.com/"The Fall of Minneapolis" can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFPi3EigjFA⸻Chapters:00:00 Intro01:00 Am I “platforming” Liz Collin?08:00 Dehumanization, “the mob,” and political rhetoric15:00 Is Minneapolis a failed city?25:00 Alpha News and the rise of new media37:00 Why The Fall of Minneapolis went viral45:00 Living in Minneapolis vs. political framing55:00 Closing thoughts⸻#LizCollin #Minneapolis #AlphaNews #FallOfMinneapolis #TimWalz
