Saw this in one of my media newsletters this morning, although the survey is six months old.

Still, I would not have put any money on NYTimes being younger than Joe Rogan podcast.

If this to be believed, then MSNBC is the laughable one to me. They and Fox are basically still playing on the Right/Left split inside the Boomer gen between the frats and the hippies that's been there ever since the beginning, when the  potential power on the left is in generations they apparently aren't reaching.

Speaking of polling/surveys being believed, I saw a reference to a book that sounded interesting by a guy named Carl Allen who has a book out called "The polls weren't wrong" that supposedly dissects all that is wrong with the way we/the media use polling data in the political process.

Anybody heard of him or his work?

Here is how you, personally, can help reduce the temperature in the country, and move us collectively away from the political extremes: the next time you plan to listen to a podcast, turn on music instead. The next time you plan to scroll social media before bed, read a fiction book instead. The next time you plan to turn on cable news, go outside and breathe in fresh air for 15 minutes. And then make those things a habit at least once or twice a week for the foreseeable future. Our algorithms are killing us. Quite literally.

So... ummm... Brian Kilmeade...

Alluded to this in the Donald Trump thread, but do not understand how this sort of dehumanizing rhetoric advances a culture of life.

Also worth noting that Kilmeade is a Catholic. He should repent at his earliest possible convenience.

Need a double like option for this.
