The Political Scene | The New Yorker

Why am I giving only a four-star review to this outstanding — superb—Washington Roundtable panel featuring three brilliant journalists ? The excessive “likes” must go. Someday I will have AI headphones that can edit out irritating tics on the fly, but until then please make an effort not to torment your admiring and devoted listeners by interjecting empty“likes” into every sentence.

i catch most episodes, and i especially want to hear what jane mayer says. i hope she can save her voice because the political scene podcast would not be the same without her, at least imo. astute, clearly expressed observations... david remnick is also a pleasure to listen to.

Interesting primarily as a look into the highly biased mindset of our upper crust and utterly un-self aware Democratic “journalist” crowd. Never more than a mild half-criticism of the Biden administration but absolutely obsessed with all things Trump. They cannot fathom the election loss could have anything to do with a candidate and platform that millions of Americans stridently rejected.

I can barely form sentences this week and have been listening to the Calm ap’s dishwasher noise for three days. As I climb back out to listen or read anything about this election - it is these four journalists. Insightful. Ridiculously experienced. Concise observations. I’m petrified that journalism will be even more threatened now by Trump. Thank u for your work. Stay safe.
