    The Daily Blast: Inside the Nasty Shadow War Between The New York Times and Team Biden

    The Daily Blast: Inside the Nasty Shadow War Between The New York Times and Team Biden

    A new Politico report has exposed deep tensions between The New York Times and the White House. President Biden’s team believes The Times isn’t adequately capturing the threat Donald Trump poses to democracy, while The Times responds that Team Biden is out to micromanage the paper of record’s coverage. We think this debate is badly muddled and in need of some major clarifications. So we chatted with Substacker Brian Beutler, a frequent media critic, about today’s flawed conventions of political reporting, why they aren’t meeting the challenge of this moment, and what’s needed to change them.

    The Daily Blast: MAGA Rage at Mike Johnson Suddenly Takes a Dark and Dangerous Turn

    The Daily Blast: MAGA Rage at Mike Johnson Suddenly Takes a Dark and Dangerous Turn

    Now that the House has passed military aid to Ukraine, MAGA personalities like Donald Trump Jr. and Tucker Carlson have joined Marjorie Taylor Greene in attacking House Speaker Mike Johnson as a traitor to the cause. Yet this isn’t just typical right wing ranting. It reveals very specific expectations of what Donald Trump would do to our international alliances if he wins back the White House. We talked to A.B. Stoddard, columnist at The Bulwark and author of a new piece digging into these dynamics, about what this MAGA vision for the world really looks like—and why a second Trump term would be so dangerous.

Bravo, Noga!

...26:44 April 3, 2024, “I’m curious, from the three of you, what do you wish Joe Biden had done?” Noga Tarnopolsky asked David, Eddie, and Meir Kahane’s own Rosa Brooks regarding U.S. policy in the Land of the Chosen People of the Kahane Master Race. The Pundits’ responses were, at best, mediocre if not downright pathetic. Bravo, Noga! Bravo! Encore! Encore!
