Can we get a link to Adam's FAIR writing about the Post? He mentioned including it in the show notes early in the episode.

Surprised that you didn't mention MSNBC trying to undermine Bernie's criticisms of the media by bringing up that "Hoarse Whisperer" Twitter false story. Aside from the fallout from that being very funny, them doing that completely proves Bernie's point about their naked bias and interests.

No Borders Only Podcasts

Not to be too sentimental here, but you guys have a really nice podcast. Citations Needed is the first podcast I've been able to listen to regularly, both because of the content and because your speech is fairly pleasing to the ear. Is Margaret Sullivan one of the few decent WaPo people you were referring to? And, it's kind of weird that in the same week journalists get in an uproar about Bernie suggesting WaPo coverage is biased by Bezos, those creepy Amazon Twitter accounts pop up.

I loved this news brief. Also funny that one of the good journalists they named at the post was Jeff Stein. I'm friends with from school, and I he's definitely a Bernard brother politically

I disagree, please don't be afraid to take a vacation now and then.
