Episode #412: Old McDaniel Told A Lie
Manage episode 410722450 series 2897088
NPR’s David Folkenflik sorts out the brouhaha NBC News found itself in when it hired Ronna McDaniel as a paid commentator — a hire that lasted all of four days. An all-staff mutiny followed her new employment, given her role as a Trump enabler in his effort to overturn the 2020 election. David also weighs the advantages, if any, in hiring partisan voices in news organizations — a practice that goes back decades.
And we rerun an interview we had with Joe Lieberman back in August of 2017, where the Connecticut senator and 2000 VP candidate talks about his career, Al Gore’s decision to name him to the ticket, how he saw the Bill Clinton/Lewinsky scandal, and his almost appearance as John McCain’s running mate in 2008. Lieberman died last month at 82.
PLUS: Robert F. Kennedy Jr., his running mate, and the different ways Donald Trump has assessed his candidacy. And the establishment choice for the U.S. Senate pulls out of the New Jersey Democratic primary.
Music in this episode:
Jersey Girl by Bruce Springsteen
Isn’t Life Strange by The Moody Blues
