David Remnick and Ezra Edelman on the Melania "Movie" and a Killing at The Washington Post | PTFO
The editor of The New Yorker and the director of the best documentary ever join Pablo Torre for an hour of media naval-spelunking: What does the death of The Washington Post sports section mean for the future of sports, journalism and propaganda? Was "Melania" a movie — or crypto? And how does LeBron guarantee his story now? Plus: Tony Kornheiser, Paul Thomas Anderson, Nuke LaLoosh, New Yorker clickbait, Carmelite nuns, the glue of commonality… and the uselessness of despair.
