• • Another crazy weekend in the books, with FCC chief Brandon Carr reprising his Buford Pusser act (https://x.com/CBSNews/status/2032903234738618389) from last summer toward networks with unfavorable Iran coverage, Tucker Carlson claiming he was spied on by the CIA (https://x.com/TuckerCarlson/status/2032954928977818069) and set up for criminal charges, Epsteinmania invading the Oscars (https://x.com/mtracey/status/2033347918007029860), a brawl between conservative commentators Mark Levin and Megyn Kelly devolving into a broadside against “Micropenis Mark (https://thehill.com/homenews/media/5786121-greene-megyn-kelly-iran-trump-mark-levin/),” growing belief that Donald Trump faked his own assassination, the president rage-Truthing against Iran and “Maggot Haberman (https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116223767250350057),” and the quiet (but perhaps not quiet for long?) return of bubble economics (https://www.marketwatch.com/story/investor-who-lost-everything-in-private-credit-wishes-several-thousand-more-people-had-warned-him-of-the-risks-d9421def?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=AWEtsqcDi2P_HwQH7gAkLpVgOIIlmVAvHQ7qj6mznGXPtN0v5YnBj-bEZql2yruVNw%3D%3D&gaa_ts=69b84467&gaa_sig=18T07FwU9_eSIa-QF6qFadUhWMoIWc47bTnIfdb_oWHn0dwIY-Y6UWY0S4tlqb9-dwDnkpTDDzQI8rHuUAsQsA%3D%3D) as a looming national disaster. We’ll talk about all of this and more on a livestream of Today’s News tonight, or tonight’s news today, at 8 PM ET right here. In addition to the news, co-host Michael Tracey and I will debate a suddenly important question: what’s more dangerous to society, sloporific algo-humping podcasts or the collapsed hulk of Formerly Mainstream Media? Michael thinks it’s no contest (https://x.com/mtracey/status/1922147959296151761?s=42), but I’m not so sure.
