      White House correspondent for a fucking podcast. Look where we’ve arrived at.

        That’s not inherently a bad thing, imo. They should be meeting people where they are, and if people listen to podcasts more than watching broadcast news, then they should have correspondents for that medium.

          That people are getting their so-called news on a fucking podcast by an asshole Trump manipulator is part of the problem.

            Sure, that podcast sucks, but podcasts are generally more accessible than broadcast news. If you don’t have a TV and don’t want your data mined, the big news stations of the 20th century aren’t really an option. The medium itself isn’t the problem imo, there are lots of great news podcasts

              How are they more accessible than literally any legitimate news website?

                  Most newspaper websites do that. Pretty much all the TV-based ones, including Fox News, do not.

                    NBC requires them, and neither ABC nor fox has a banner for me (in the eu, so either they automatically collect nothing or they break the law and don’t tell you- at least for fox, I suspect the latter is more likely, given that the UK based Murdoch news network, news.co.uk, does have a banner). CBS does not require them though, so I guess there’s that.

      Yep Trump new press sectary said thsy would go beyond legacy media and allow influencer and podcast in on all briefing…

      I am sure it meant only the right wing Podcaster and influencers though. No left wingers will be allowed.

      So this lady and whoever Joe Rogen sends etc.
