During a new subscriber-only podcast this week, Sirota and Tom Frank discuss:
• The troll phase of Larry Summers career, and the Biden administration’s surprising rejection of his latest attempt to undermine the stimulus.
• Democrats latest attempts to complicate the promised $2,000 checks — and how the behavior spotlights party elites’ belief that any initiative must be bad just because it is simple.
• The Washington Post’s weaponization of “fact checking” and Pinocchios to inject economic ideology into the political discourse.
• The insidious economic message of the most talked about Super Bowl ad.
Here are some of the articles Sirota and Frank refer to in the podcast:
Biden’s Promised $1,400 Checks Are Even Dividing the White House (Bloomberg)
A Dystopian Sales Pitch On Super Bowl Sunday (Daily Poster)
Lies, Damn Lies, And Fact Checking (Daily Poster)
