  • CBS Cable was launched in 1980

    On the Oct. 4 Powers That Be, I believe Peter Hamby said something to the effect, “CBS never had a cable channel.” In fact, CBS was the first broadcast network to launch a cable channel, in 1980, called CBS Cable, although it lasted only about one year. Unrelated, although the episode was billed as The Powers That Be, what played on the podcast was The Grill Room, with No mention of The Powers That Be.

  • Insufferable

    Not sure who is more insufferable — Peter or John H but my god, have either of you been on the ground in VA or NJ or the town halls going on? Stop talking to your Twitter jerk circle and get out of NYC-LA-DC loop. People care about affording groceries, rent, health care, and the disorder, disarray, corruption of Trump making us poorer, sicker, and less safe.

    Please stop repeating R talking points and framing them as a Dem problem. You’ve been doing this since 2016. And tell John H to stop licki... more

  • Implement quality control when using AI editing

    Half of the time these guys are just phoning it in and are just dribbling out confirmation bias and calling it insight. The other half they are just repeating what other people already reported on.

  • Never thought I’d say

    That I’m glad smug Peter is back. And Leigh Anne, why don’t you go do your job and investigate what kind of sweetheart deals Bongino is getting to stay vs laughing about them. That’s illegal as a government official to be promised something to stay quiet and whose salary you and I pay for.

    Also, do your homework or maybe it’s just easier/lazier to get the Republican talking points and spit those out.
