What Are Those Pod Save Lads Getting up to These Days? (Hint: The Ongoing Adventures of Chuck Todd) UPDATED

 


Glad you asked.

Last episode they spent a good long time whining that Kamala Harris had not given exactly the speech they wanted her to give at a Pod Save America-approved venue.

Then they teed up their next episode -- this episode -- in which Chuck Todd -- yes, that Chuck Todd -- will be welcomed back from the Media Phantom Zone like an old lodge brother.

They wanna be Meet the Press soooo badly.  

Or even MSNBC.  

 And yet when they cast a watchful eye at the Joe Scarborough network, all the empty chairs have been filled by recently-former Republicans from a competing podcast network.


If you're keeping score at home...


I Am The Liberal Media


UPDATE:

The money quote:

TODD:  I do think the Sunday show interview -- and, frankly the television interview as we know it in traditional media -- is just useless.

It's been dead for years, but like David Gregory before him, Chuck Todd was perfectly happy to corpse-hump the thing, and do real damage to the country, in order to advance his career.

Not that I found time to tune in to Pod save America. Have they ever explained and defined what their notion of America is?
You know these days all sorts of people say they want to take back their America.
Are they dreams? Nightmares" extreme ideals?
Hard to tell right now but it seems to me there are forces eager to return to Hoover days, Where Nazis rule.
