You should give pod save America a try. It’s truthful. Those guys were Obama staffers.

One reason I avoid video news, whether it’s msnbc or fox or cnn or any television (or other video) news is that it’s just buckets of emotion being thrown at you. And those emotions are there, usually, in an attempt to manipulate. I despise it.
That said, I watched the trailer. Looked good. I watched a couple interviews, skipping around to try to get a feel for their style. Looked good. I liked that they’re pretty low-key, the seem like they’re trying to get to the heart of things. I like their sense of humor and their style in general.
Or maybe it’s just that I generally agree with them that the emotion that they do show doesn’t bother me. And now I’m going down a slippery road toward being manipulated. I don’t like that.
The other main reason I avoid video news is that I just don’t want to spend the time. If I watch a 30-minute interview with somebody, I might get a better idea of their personality than if I read the news, so maybe if I’m curious about someone this would be a good place to flesh out my opinion. But video is just so slow. I can read a shit ton of news in 30 minutes.
Anyway, thanks for the recommend. I’ll keep them in mind.
