At donor retreats and in pitch documents seen by The New York Times, liberal strategists are pushing the party’s rich backers to reopen their wallets for a cavalcade of projects to help Democrats, as the cliché now goes, “find the next Joe Rogan.”

The first out of the gate has been Chorus, a well-publicized liberal nonprofit group co-founded by the Democratic influencer Brian Tyler Cohen.
But others have stayed under wraps until now. In November, Ms. McBride and other liberal operatives gathered in Washington for a series of meetings to survey the election wreckage. At the headquarters of American Bridge, one of the largest Democratic donor networks, they eventually hatched a plan for a for-profit media company called AND Media, which stands for “Achieve Narrative Dominance.”
The company, incorporated in March, says it is aiming to raise $45 million over the next four years. The group hopes to have a $70 million budget over that time frame based on predictions of $25 million in revenue. It says it has raised $7 million so far. Ms. McBride and Christian Tom, who led digital strategy for the Biden White House, have pitched the company to American Bridge donors as a broad cultural project.
That’s the entire alumni of the Daily Show and they’re all insufferable to listen to. Jon Oliver is okay but god his jokes are annoying.
I like him, although I haven't watched him in awhile. He has the occasional bad takes (an episode on Venezuela and China for example) but usually every episode is an explanation of why capitalism sucks, which I think needs to be the beginning of every lib to leftist pipeline. They don't use those words, but it's obvious when the cause of the problem of basically every episode is something being privatizated, deregulated, and/or some corporation or CEO.
Part of the reason his foreign policy takes are all dogshit is (IIRC) because his wife is a republican and was a US army medic at a torture camp.
That makes so much sense.
