Send us Fan MailIn the podcast, the hosts discuss the rebranding of the cable news channel MSNBC. It will be spun off from its parent company, NBC Universal, into a new entity called Versant and will change its name to &quot;My Source News Opinion World,&quot; or MS NOW for short. The hosts speculate that NBC is distancing itself from MSNBC because the latter&apos;s far-left viewpoint has damaged the overall brand&apos;s credibility. This leads to a broader conversation about the current state of the Democratic party, which they describe as a fractured &quot;amalgamation of left-wingers&quot; beholden to its most radical factions. They argue that Democratic leaders are afraid to challenge the &quot;vicious militant wing&quot; of their party, forcing them to adopt politically unpopular stances.Another major topic is a viral video of former FBI Director James Comey, in which he identifies as a &quot;Swifty&quot; and quotes Taylor Swift lyrics. The hosts describe the video as pathetic and unbecoming of a 64-year-old man who once ran a major intelligence agency, suggesting it undermines his credibility and seriousness. This discussion transitions into an analysis of the modern media landscape, where consumers often seek out news sources that confirm their existing biases rather than provide objective facts. The hosts conclude that the demand for drama and reinforcement over factual reporting has led to a prevalence of clickbait and a filtered, &quot;algorithmized&quot; view of the world for media consumers.Let’s talk advertising.
