BONUS EP: Have a Bernie Bernie Christmas
🕑 Added 2019-12-25 18:16:12 +0000 UTCWe reflect on our first year-ish of Know Your Enemy! Including: A report from the front of Matt's ongoing posting war with the illiberal right. Our thoughts on Ross Douthat's Bernie-sympathetic NYT columns. Finally, we get worked up over the latest Buzzfeed Sanders profile — and the media class's unforgivable treatment of the most humane presidential campaign in memory.
We go full Bernard Brother in this one. (Sorry, not sorry.)

just recently subscribed in late 2020 having binge listened to all the free episodes, and i loved this. getting drunk and calling it out for what it is gets my vote too :-)

I really liked the episode, conversational riffing and all.

love to hear it. and unlike Matt, as a buddhist I don’t necessarily have to wait for MSM pundits to die to reap what they sow.

Just wanted to add that Sohrab Ahmari also recently blocked me, and I’m pretty sure it’s because I liked a tweet of Matt’s. I’ve had no other interaction with him beyond that.

Bari Weiss has been vilifying Sanders for anti-Semitism. Could you cover this in a podcast?
Kathy Ross
Great podcast!

I would certainly keep listing to content like this! I appreciate the perspective you both bring to events in the news and how you connect it to past episodes. Thanks guys.
