"Today's News" Livestream at 10:30 AM ET: Michael Tracey On Location
Recapping an interesting event.
Michael Tracey went to a rally last night:
We’ll be recapping some interviews and other material, plus discussing a news story Michael and I have now both been roped into, at 10:30 AM ET. Yes, that’s in a half-hour. Apologies for the late warning, but such are the hazards of guerrilla reportage. You can check in at @mtaibbi, or here:
I also watched for the first time today. It's not bad, but very different from ATW.
When I watched Matt and Walter, I saw two writers discussing current events and, importantly, books they loved.
When I watch Matt and Michael, I see two journalists talking shop. It's not uninteresting, it's just not the same.
Also, like him or not, Walter often comes up with incisive and hilarious one-liners .
All in all, I miss him.
Matt, what I miss the most about your new livestreams is the nuance, smart humor, insightful ironies and literary references that you and Walter shared with each other. It educated us and opened our minds to all sorts of ways of looking at the news. I mourn the loss.
