trump/golf course
&
reporters who don't report but hold out for their book release (see maggie haberman)

After he lost the election Trump told people he wouldn't leave the White House. Why are we only finding this out now? Because Maggie Haberman held it for months (maybe longer) for her new book: "I'M NOT GOING TO REPORT ANY OF THIS UNTIL I GET A BOOK DEAL!" This is the third time Haberman has done this with this book alone. She joins Bob Woodward, Robert Costa, Jon Karl, and others as reporters who refused to report. (13:00) But Haberman's case is so egregious we need to know what ELSE she might be suppressing. So I think The House January 6th Committee should subpoena her to find out what she knows - or what she WILL know later when the damn book comes out.

on edit: also matt gaetz & how he took a picture and made fun of his opponent's autistic son & a riveting story about his appendix from sept 12 2007 (i think)

i used to watch countdown every night. my mom & i always watched it together except if i was working--then she would watch it and when i'd get home from work she'd tell me i had to watch the rerun (then tell me a bit of something he talked about or said on his show). we loved the show.

having said that, there was something he said in this podcast that bothered me--and he repeated it several times (at first i thought i heard it wrong). anyway--if you're reading all this and you listen to the show see if you can guess what he said that bothered me.

3. I started to suspect that

Maggie was getting her reports direct from 45 for months! This doesn’t confirm that it’s true, just that I have hunch. Every time she appeared on CNN, I would wonder who her sources were. I don’t trust her and agree, she should be questioned for days! I bet 45 called her everyday to feed his need to be in the news every freaking day!

4. Before i listen to the Podcast I just want to point out that "selfish journalism" takes place

outside of government as well. Journalist who really want to investigate and report on corruption and deceit in high places, even in the sports and academic worlds are muzzled by a variety of factors like wealth, celebrity, job security, personal safety, and especially corrupt and renegade law enforcement. I highly recommend the book by Paul Pringle, "Bad City" explains a lot about the news we never hear about.

Thanks for your post.

5. "If you listen to the show, see if you can guess what he said that bothered me"

That tease seems somewhat akin to telling us to wait for your book to come out. The irony.

6. lol. i guess you're right.

i just thought the show was worth listening to.

the thing that bothered me was the way he referred to ron desantis as ronda santis

[hlthe2b]

7. hah! I do love Keith's podcast and I will later on.

Yeah, the ronda santis bit is irritating and a bit sexist. Maybe someone will suggest Ron DeSatan.
