I haven't listened to the particular episode that was linked, but KM, you should legit listen to Citations Needed. Best podcast on the left right now, IMO.

He's David Brock's guy. David Brock. I'm sorry but there is no way that he's on the level. Either he's attempting to hoodwink Brock or hoodwink the voters, and either way that's bad.

Did someone say fundraising list chat? 'cause let me tell y'all a bit about fundraising lists. The more folk who have access to them, the less they're worth. And boy howdy is the DNC horrid about data access policies! Lists like those Clinton and Obama maintain contain personal info of some VIPs and other celebrities. You give that away and you're pissing off powerful and influential folks for no personal gain. Nobody likes receiving 20 spam emails for $ from rando no-name Congresscritters, not even JLo. Why give up free stays in the Riviera and Tuscany with folks more famous than you are for no reason?

joepinetree posted:People definitely buy and sell lists. But national lists of democratic donors have a very specific set of potential buyers. Absolutely no one other than national democratic organizations would buy Hillary's list, especially in 2017 and 18. This isn't a candidate deciding whether to buy a list from The Nation or from Daily Kos. If Hillary wanted to claim that her list was worth 10 million dollars, nothing would stop her other than changing some numbers on an in kind contribution filing. It also depends how complete of a dataset is contained. Is it just a contact list of names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, and contribution history? Or does it also include callnotes? Depending upon the completeness of notes, and whether there is profit potential, the data could be worth quite a bit to the right buyer.

How often are poc on the show? While I understand that a lot of people aren't interested in podcasts, allow me to change your mind. In the practical sense, one can enjoy podcasts/audiobooks/music while doing tedious work. Doing dishes? The drudgery is blunted by podcasts. Cleaning in general? Same deal.Exercising? Exercise your muscles and your mind at the same time. Walking, running, lifting weights. Podcasts. They're free. Sure there are some that have content behind paywalls, but the vast majority of that content is free to everyone. They don't need to kowtow to authority. I know that you're into media from what you've said on the forums, but podcasting are a different kind of media. Much of media that is available from traditional sources is overproduced. On top of this, a lot of it is pre-chewed for American audiences as our national education level slips. Most stories are basic and have little nuance to them. New ideas are stale. Also since 9/11 there have been stories that are just lousy not only with a culture of patriotism, but military worship and nationalism. Rights are eroded partially by normalization in the media.If you've ever watched a TV police procedural, especially the high level G-men type stuff, someone whips out some law that tells "criminals" that they actually don't have the rights that the constitution explicitly says that have. Further, at least in the case of citations needed, they present narratives that the media flat out ignores that have excellent reasons that one might support. No gatekeepers. You can make trash, gold or unpolished gems. You do have to sift through it to find them and quality tends to vary, but word of mouth is strong for podcasts. There's no one in a suit that tells you what you should or shouldn't be making. No one has the power to reject your ideas so long as what you're doing isn't illegal. This means that there are a lot of failed projects and trash out there, but a ton of cutting edge stuff is there too. New ideas are being developed quietly and talent is being developed organically because it's outside of the mainstream. I fully expect that the mainstream is going to begin pulling more heavily from this as a well because there's going to be a large pool of talent that's been developing itself on its own for more than a decade now. Podcasts are where it's at. Authenticity isn't everything to me, but there isn't much to be found in mainstream entertainment. There's something to be said about what talented amateurs or even professionals can make on their own time. Ice Phisherman fucked around with this message at 09:36 on May 3, 2018 |

Ice Phisherman posted:*snip* I'm an extreme latecomer to podcasts and I used to feel much the same about them as KM, but then I got a job that requires me to do a lot of driving for work, and some repetitive tasks on a regular basis. I quickly burnt out on the radio and even though I listen to Spotify it just wasn't doing it for me. I don't necessarily make time for them outside of my work stuff but I always make a point to listen to Citations Needed and Chapo, and they've definitely turned me on to the medium in general.

Since you have me thinking about it, I have a rather troubling problem related to Democratic Party establishment loving with my representation. I live in the Washington's 8th congressional district. The long and short of it is that it's been gerrymandered to make it a safe GOP seat in exchange for a safe Dem seat elsewhere. Now I'm staring down going from having Dave Richert, whom is bad to Dino Rossi, Trump lover and regressive monster as my rep in congress. The blue wave is my only hope.

That’s interesting but actually buried the lede a bit. Ignoring that we don’t know where this comes from, he also says that this hasn’t worked out for Bill, and we know Perez is not a Clinton guy, he’s an Obama guy. All these insider juicy gossip accounts rely on you taking everyone’s word for it tho, which is lame.

The child support stuff seems kind of exaggerated (it was only for 2.5 months and not much money, and he ended up paying it off), but Myers still seems better just by virtue of having a more solid background and seeming more ideologically "coherent." edit: I may have mentioned this before, but my impression of Bryce is that he's the sort of guy who could probably be persuaded to "go with the flow" once in office by his fellow politicians, lobbyists, etc.
