A cappella is just an obnoxious status signifier re Ivy League schools. I’d be surprised if he liked it musically, but it’s totally consistent with his obsession with/desire to be perceived as elite

Minor comments: Dharun Ravi was the perpetrator, not the victim in the Rutgers surveillance case. Tyler Clementi (referenced in the clip and your subsequent comments) was the victim. Also: the vignette when the wife in Syria puts her husband trapped in rubble on the air is meant to dramatize how insupoortable the distinction between private and public is in the news, and thus suggest that the earlier refusal to let that guy come out on the air was misguided (or at least suggest that). The guy stuck in rubble is connected to them through his own wife, but he’s clearly exactly the source you want to put on the air that’s most newsworthy.

"The Times Phrenology and Race Science Desk" – funny 'cause it's true!

I was in the car with a friend earlier and I swear to god the news room THEME SONG played in our local public radio station! Right after Sonic Youth was on. What a weird choice

Back when I was into Christian rock Michael Tait was in DC Talk. What a world!

Also on this note, I saw that Chick-fil-A has a streaming app type thing for kids with original content. Might be some fun right wing shit in there...

The Yale acapella group Luke was searching for is The Whiffenpoofs, which I'm sure only interests Sorkin because of their Ivy League bona fides, and the fact he finds the name funny (as with Pahrump, Nevada).

I hate to break this to you guys, but the Michael Tait allegations have gotten much worse between the time you recorded this and now.

Re what WS was noting about the Hamil/Takai liberals: As of five years ago, my local independent bookstore was about the most NPR liberal place imaginable. Exactly the kind of place you’d expect in a rich, bougie area of a big US city. Now it’s a de facto leftist bookstore. Society of the Spectacle, of all things, had prominent place on display yesterday. I figure give it a few months and it will be What is To Be Done?.

I would like to suggest, in the vein of your Sorkin Series reviewing how his politics afflicted his art, that you take a look at some point at the Apple TV series FOR ALL MANKIND, which I've taken to calling 'Woke NASA'. I wouldn't claim it has any of Sorkin's strengths, but I feel like more than most series it tells us something about Centrist Liberal anguish in the era of Donald Trump. The first couple of seasons are... well, not subtle, but let's say 'disciplined'. You can probably get away with reading through synopses to deal with them. However, season 3 really has got a lot going for it with an Obama/Elon Musk mash-up running a high-tech firm along Occupy Wall Street lines and the most non-MAGA imaginable candidate for the presidency. (I have only watched the first few episodes, so perhaps this is the eventual winner.) There's also a clear race between the liberal vs conservative teams to be first to Mars. We've had a Ted Kennedy and a Gary Hart presidency too. Plus a spy scandal! Sorry, I can't afford to be on the superdelegate tier, so perhaps you've already dealt with this suggestion there.
