Donna Halper

Media historian Donna Halper is back. You might know her from her many visits to our Wednesday podcasts, as well as from her blog -- dhalperblog.blogspot.com. She's one of my dearest friends and an expert when it comes to the inner workings of the American news media. She's also the former radio deejay who introduced my favorite band Rush to American audiences. Today we talked about her analysis of the news media's inability to cover Donald Trump, and how the left can build its own news media infrastructure.

Steady As She Goes

We discuss the perils of institutionalism and the "steady as she goes" tradition in Democratic politics. Bringing a banana to a knife fight. We need to stop worrying about how Donald and the Republicans will react. Sam Alito tells Donald "no" when it comes to lifting the gag order. Lame Duck Donald? Will they try to monkey with Social Security? Matt Gaetz gets hired by OAN, which still exists somewhere. Rupert Murdoch's plan to keep Fox News as a far-right outlet hits a setback. With Cliff Schecter from the Cliff's Edge YouTube channel, music by Seth Adam, Michael McDermott, and more!

Charlie Pierce on JFK -- The great Charlie Pierce from Esquire.com and the Stephanie Miller Show joins me to discuss the assassination of John F. Kennedy, 60 years on.

JF in the 805

I have been a listener for years. Bob and his cohosts know their stuff. While I will miss the contributions of Buzz Burbank, he deserves a happy retirement. I’m already enjoying the new energy of the debut of Cliff Schecter.
