She's such a legend.

    I unsubbed from MR after Michael Brooks death. There is no left anchor on that show anymore. Thought Jamie could step in and sort of fill that void, but she still seems to be relegated to a 3rd string, or maybe she just doesn't really care for that spotlight.

      She's a producer at the show and not a host so 🤷‍♀️

        i used to think producers just like give money and take credit. what do they do other than be rich?

          Same. I'm still not sure myself but think about it like this: producers do whatever a director doesn't do. It can be from making sure the set is ready on time to making sure there's a coherent vision between everyone involved. It's a really big tent. A lot of the time a producer is the guy that hires a director or screenwriter in the first place. That's why there's always a ton of them in the credits. Executive Producer is basically anyone you want to credit but they didn't do enough to get a full producer billing.

          For a radio show like MR the producer is the person looking out that things run during while the host does the hosting. So taking listener calls, puting in ad breaks, going live, monitoring levels and the broadcast. Things like that.

            i always used to think executive producers are like...super producers. you know, they do so much more than normal producers.

      I still remember Ken Ken & Ken on MR when sam & brooks cosplayed up like smug conservative brooklynites https://ibb.co/zSKp657 Those were the days.

      it’s taken a more liberalism / trump coverage turn now

    Idk if she roasted him at all but Sam really should've interrupted less. But then BJG is a lawyer from Harvard so it's not like she needs gentle treatment.

          In my opinion her points gave more introspection for the cause

          and to be fair sams crew would attack her & jimmy on a personal level that was gross

            She's been attacking people on personal level on Twitter for weeks over this shit. She also sat by while Dore personally attacked a bunch of people who are otherwise well meaning and supposed to be her allies and didn't say shit.

              I can pick out many examples from a hat with MR & his 1 million subscriber platform compared to Bries twitter.. Her platform has been all policy. I had been a viewer until now by his complete smugness & personal attack pettiness in bad faith unironically

              Wish michael brooks was part of the dialogue.

                https://twitter.com/KweenInYeIIow/status/1346085984803434497?s=20

                People see the shit she posts and likes.

                Why are you talking to me like I am defending Sam Seder? As I already said, both BJG and Sam Seder have acted like petulant liberal children. BJG sat down on camera and let Jimmy Dore talk a bunch of shit about people who she runs in the same circle as and said nothing to defend them, and in some cases joined in briefly before being too cowardly and just deleting it, fearing the consequences, and I am supposed to see her as a victim? Am I supposed to be surprised or offended that the people who consider her a friend and ally decided to give it back to her?

                This whole FTV shit wasn't even about M4A, it was about building the Posters' Party and getting people to go on Dore's show

                Oh, and here's and idea of what Michael Brooks would have said about all of this:

                https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhn89O_Z96M

                I'm not really sure how the fuck you could have listened to anything Michael ever said, especially before his death, about how the left needs to carry itself and talk and treat to people, and expect him to turn around and say, "Yes, this movement that has called people like Cori Bush and AOC sellouts is actually a good and useful movement." But who knows, maybe like BJG said, Michael would have agreed if he with her if he just could have read her article, which is definitely not a narcissistic thing to say.

                  What’s with the hostility? I don’t want to entertain the conspiracies grifting argument anymore that obfuscates from real butter & bread issues

                  “ @KweenInYeIIow So cowardly. If Brie got something to say she needs to speak up instead of liking other peoples tweets.”

                  Holy shit! This is some grade A junior high level petty shit. Glad I don’t have Twitter

                  Jimmy has driven away multiple people on his show. Don't act like his shit doesn't stink - it does and he's embarrassing.

                  Nobody should have ever taught DSA liberals the word "wrecker" because they use it to mean "Someone who criticizes my liberal friends".

          Whole thing was hard to watch but I've had FTV stuff largely tuned out so I wanted to watch the heavyweight wonks (so to speak) go at it. Cane away with my original view intact that I'm not opposed to FingTV but I really don't think it's going to make any significant difference either way.

          The point that was new to me here was the idea of getting media attention on the vote and the fight around the vote, but frankly I think they'd have no problem giving it barely any attention and justifying that by pointing out that it's destined for failure and therefore not a big deal.

          Admittedly I was splitting my attention with Hitman 3 so I may have missed something.
