Show Notes
This week’s Nir & Rupar features a very special guest — Matt Gertz, senior fellow at Media Matters and one of the foremost experts on right-wing media. Gertz and I discussed the ways in which Fox News is even worse now than it was during Trump’s first term, the Ellison family’s ill-conceived takeover of CBS, why Trump hosting the White House Correspondents dinner is an affront to the Constitution, and much more. Matt has been covering conservative media for nearly two decades now, and there’s nobody more knowledgeable about Fox-world and the role it plays propping up the administration. I enjoyed our conversation and hope you will too. Nir & Rupar goes live every Friday at 2pm eastern. David was out this week but will be back next Friday. If you’d like to ask us live questions during the show, please sign up for a paid subscription to Public Notice if you haven’t already. That’s it for this week. I’ll be back with a new newsletter Monday morning. Until then, thanks for your support, and have a great weekend.

More from PN Pod
In this week’s episode of the PN Pod, Paul and I go deep on Trump’s shambolic midterm rallies, his devolution over the past decade, and how you can draw a straight line from his weird obsession with Jon Husted’s ass to Nazi propaganda. We also discuss Barack Obama hitting the campaign trail and why he’s remembered far more fondly than any other living president. We had a great live audience today of over 1,000 people, so thank you to all who tuned in.
