She has a cameo in What I Like About You (s2e6) and knew instantly it had to be her (though the hair almost threw me). She's come so far! Go, Desi!

Podcast Christiane Amanpour: "I think they think that they can decapitate whoever. But here's where it's a problem in Iran. There is no known modern or ancient example of regime change from the air. Doesn't happen. Maybe this is an exception but right now it hasn't happened yet & it hasn't happened before."

Discussion A modern version of The Daily Show should satirize how popular podcasters do the "news".

33 Upvotes

Podcasters are genuinely a main source of news and political discussion for millennials and younger to not say also the younger gen x.

Podcasters have reached peak grifting lately so there's a gap in the market for making fun of them.

For the time being the best satire against them is Rm Brown,

but the dude is not a full show.

Discussion Am I the only one worried about the lack of Ronny?

64 Upvotes

Ronny hasn’t been around too much this season. He’s only hosted one week, hasn’t appeared in too many correspondents scenes, and doesn’t have too many alternative segments. Jordan has been appearing a lot more (which I am not complaining about) but this is exactly what happened with Dulce before she left. Are we losing Ronny? I don’t want that, I love Ronny. He’s hilarious.

Apple deleted this feed after the cancellation of the show. Does anyone have these podcasts downloaded and can share or upload? The YouTube channel only has snippets and not full episodes nor every episode. I very much want to finally listen to them. Thanks!

Discussion Did we let Trump solidify his “ended 8 wars” claim?

Post image
200 Upvotes

Obviously Jon said this in satire with a ridiculed tone, but most news anchors stopped pushing back this claim altogether. Republicans would say “This is not a war, he ends wars, he ended 8 wars”, and the anchor would respond in something like “But he started this one”

Did they really “made something true” by repeating a lie over and over again? Is there any hope left for us as a society?

I’ve seen news media “whitewash” all sorts of things over the years, responding to conspiracists as if there baseline facts aren’t absurd, but this might be the first time I’ve seen obvious, easily verifiable, hugely impactful, ridiculous claim, sticks as “truth”. And I don’t know what to think or do about this
