Another disagreement with you, sir! MJFs article in the Atlantic is pretty good, but I used to listen to her regularly on her pod, THE NEW ABNORMAL, and I frequently thought that I had socks that were more astute than she was. It doesn’t bother me that she’s left of me politically —- I read people with whom I disagree, both left and right. And its not that she gets people’s names and their offices wrong —-its gotta be hard to do these podcasts. It’s that she is neither astute, prescient, original or anything else that would make one want to listen to her. Sorry.

I stopped listening to The New Abnormal when Rick Wilson had to leave. I agree with you on MJF, just nothing interesting, original.

Agreed. The pod was good with Rick on it & never the same after The Daily Beast dropped him.
