Appreciate Brooke’s pushback on that Third Way Overton-window-shifter – just wish the interview had happened after today’s bizarro White House meeting to blow up the guy’s “Mamdani is a problem for Democrats” take.
On this week’s show: @gelliottmorris.com fact-checks the claim that Dems need more moderate voters to win; @thirdwaymattb.bsky.social on why he sees Zohran Mamdani as a ‘political problem’ for Dems; @senanaliseortiz.bsky.social on why door-knocking is essential. https://lnk.to/onthemedia/bluesky

Don’t @ us: this week’s show was already done when 86 house dems voted to condemn socialism(!), Mamdani met and charmed Trump, and MTG announced she’s stepping down in Jan. So none of that is in this week’s episode. But it’s excellent nonetheless. Enjoy! www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...

Perhaps there's a version of the news distortion doctrine that's consistent with the First Amendment, but the version of it that Carr is wielding here is not going to survive constitutional scrutiny.
Trump's censor in chief at the FCC, Brendan Carr, just sent a letter to the heads of BBC, NPR and PBS informing them he's launching a "news distortion" probe into the BBC's editing of a documentary on Trump's Jan. 6 activities.
Here it is:
