The passing of Norman Lear coincides with a new TV era where, quite likely, not a single one of the legendary producer’s famous sitcoms would pass muster in a pitch meeting of today. While Elaine Low talks specifics about what’s selling and who’s buying in the contracted post-strike TV market, Martini Shot host Rob Long pays homage to Lear’s immense legacy (“his shows were’t about politics, they were about characters”). Also: Janice Min shares her scorcher of a live interview with Andrew Cuomo’s former top advisor Melissa DeRosa, who declares that President Biden should dump Kamala Harris, zings RFK Jr.’s “ego”, and decries the “total lack of leadership” over antisemitism in New York City.

This interview was horrible. Please don’t interview politicians and especially ones that claim female politicians get elected not by the virtue of their views but because of their lipstick. One may not like AoC but she’s not just a bartender but a highly educated woman who had a normal job like most Americans. Disconnected , elitist voices like her are why trump won. Please don’t be a propaganda piece for regressive sexism . Focus on the media industry instead.
Also far left not denouncing terrorism ? Who ? This is a bad interview where it seems the interviewee was not held accountable for what she said. I’m a guy born with a silver spoon but even to me it felt clubby and lame. You’re a great platform Ankler. Be better than this.
What the hell is Melissa DeRosa talking about when she says Islamophobia isn't a problem, only anti-Semitism? Does she know about the 6-year old that was stabbed to death? Does she know about the three students shot for wearing keffiyehs? This kind of hate crime denialism should not be platformed, and you should denounce it for what it is: hate speech.
