Summary

As we continue with our Media and the Mob series on the first Monday of each month, this week Aaron and I interview veteran Philadelphia television reporter Dave Schratwieser who has been an investigative reporter with Philadelphia FOX 29 News  since 1994. Dave has investigated Philadelphia organized crime and corruption as well as government and judicial malfeasance. Dave talks about gathering and maintaining his extensive network of sources in the judiciary, law enforcement and organized crime. Dave brings us up to date on the current mob situation in Philadelphia including the latest on Skinny Joe Merlino.
