Jake here. Sound bites were standard for a while, but sometimes I'll skip them if I can't get to editing the news until later on Thursday nights, and I particularly let it slide for a while when we started doing a lot of specials around Gaza at the end of last year. Just getting back to normal here.
Like Derek said, there's no Nation money or "influence", just us.
Well I encourage you to parlay as much financial support from them and start your own media company, bring in chapo,the blowback guys, radio war nerd, true anon, Michael and Us, ettingermentum... a new media imperium is on the horizon.
That Biden quote is the apotheosis of “American prestige”
We’re living in the future we’ve always dreamed of!
I can finally say this has to be one of the best podcasts in the nation!
Am I noticing more sound bites from news reports? Was that ever a thing? Is this a result of the influx of The Nation money and influence?
I’ll let Jake speak to production matters but I can assure you and everybody else that there is no “The Nation money.”
