Yeah a PP bumped it because she wrote the weird article fact checking Hasan Minhaj’s comedy routines which wasn’t at all fact-checked itself. The Hasan Minhaj situation should probably have its own thread in the Entertainment forum instead.

That wasn't the issue. ABC gutted 538 as part of a larger cost cutting program.


Look what you just wrote and explain it to me.

---> cost cutting <---

She cost more than what she was generating.

I will not miss her but I definitely miss him his program and The Daily Show both of which she was perfect for. Did they get rid of him because he's Muslim( I can't help but
wonder) so there's my two cents whether you want them or not.y


HM is a fraud

He was part of the woke cancel stuff when he benefited from it

But then cried when it affected him

I am reading 538 coverage of the Georgia election and I just realized Clare Malone is going. I guess I am an outlier but I couldn’t stand her on the podcasts. She grated. Laughed and was coquettish in 2016 when it wasn’t appropriate and just went on and on with her comments in 2020. I am so glad she is gone.

I do miss Harry Enten though. Galen Druke is the best.

She was on the podcast today and that was great. They said they are going to try to keep her on in that capacity and details are still up in the air. I love listening to her. I don’t think ABC realized how big of a deal it would be. I hope she lands another great gig soon.
