@RonWechsler The thing that resonated with me is how much more dug-in the Trumpers are this year vs 2016. Syncs with what I hear from family members. Very different demo but same talking points/defensiveness. — PolitiTweet.org

@Lucas_Shaw Very curious about Netflix giving you what you want vs what they want to give you. But! Spotify has ~ 60 million tracks and if they get it wrong you press skip after a few seconds. Netflix has < 10k titles and you have to invest much more time to see if they got it right. — PolitiTweet.org

A Hollywood trade pub trying to optimize clicks for a national story they have no capacity to cover underscores the fucked-up state of the media business. — PolitiTweet.org

@MikeIsaac @Adriana_Lacy Yup, for advertisers it's the digital version of the Sunday shows, as we discuss. — PolitiTweet.org

Here is a very unsurprising hire: JP Colaco, who worked closely with WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar at two different companies (Hulu + Vessel), is now working with him again, heading up ad sales. — PolitiTweet.org

The editing and breathing are getting better. And no trucks backing up in this one. They are getting the hang of this, bigtime. — PolitiTweet.org

This is an excellent profile of @matt_levine . And if you want to hear what @matt_levine sounds like (spoiler: He sounds like the person who writes @matt_levine's words), here's our chat from last fall. https://t.co/GZcONgYfnn — PolitiTweet.org

Also! A visit from @shiringhaffary, who read 400 pages of the Congressional antitrust report, so you didn't have to: https://t.co/fBZJVobvxF — PolitiTweet.org

In this discussion: *Why Axios is still 100% free, and how/when they might finally launch a sub product. *Why Big Tech is a big help for Axios (tldr: They buy lots of ads) *How Axios plans to break into local news (tldr: Aggregation + reporting, w/ 1 or 2 reporters in 4 markets) — PolitiTweet.org

Axios, which launched less than four years ago, is on track to do $58 million this year. Talked to CEO @JimVandeHei about his very fast start. https://t.co/fBZJVobvxF — PolitiTweet.org

Dr Doom - NYT’s Don McNeil Jr, who has been consistently right about all things pandemic - is now cautiously optimistic: We are screwed for fall and winter, but should have widely distributed vaccines by mid-2021. https://t.co/9bPL4uvmfB — PolitiTweet.org

@stevesi Which doesn't answer my question... — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@stevesi Steve, do you agree with the Brad Smith POV that in US v MSFT, the litigation was the punishment? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@stevesi @blairwestlake @AlamoNYC And yes, for a lot of people, and a lot of movies, home will be fine. But I think going to Big Movies in person will be a thing again. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@stevesi @blairwestlake ymmv - a lot of the newer theaters i've been to have been *great*, particularly @AlamoNYC. Love to go back when there's a widely distributed vaccine. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@stevesi @blairwestlake Seems like the theaters will be more likely to snap back than most covid-crushed industries. Ownership/debt may certainly change, but people will go to movies again, and even the dumbest landlords will want to keep them around. — PolitiTweet.org

Your suburban neighbor runs tech stuff for Citigroup. He’s into soccer, Game of Thrones, and runs “the main vector for Q radicalization” as a side gig. Great story. https://t.co/vZ5lQ4M8JL — PolitiTweet.org
