I think real journalism defined like this is happening in a lot of places that are not network television or legacy broadcast media. It would be nice for it to happen more and louder or even be amplified more

Morning Joe now has Chris Matthews on?? Who now just runs a Substack? What in the world?
I'm sorry I complained about the grandpa host now. He was not so bad now that I have to hear Chris Matthews

I haven't watched Morning Joe in years. Whose grandfather is now one of the hosts? I think he's about to start regretting the decline of black licorice as a treat for children.
