Friday, again! We made it!
Things are gonna be a little crazy around KITM World HQ this morning, but I couldn’t leave for the weekend without following up on the theory we were pursuing at the end of yesterday’s show: that the mistaken belief that The Apprentice was reflective of reality simply because it was labeled as “reality TV” gave rise both to Trump’s candidacy and the wave of “fake news” that overwhelmed America.
So, I didn’t. I recorded it for you. Along with the usual assortment of Friday backgrounders that make KITM listeners the coolest people to hang out with on weekends.
Listen NOT-EXACTLY-LIVE right here at 9:00 AM ET!
Well, we went ahead and did it. We “went commercial.” Sort of. That is, we turned on ads in the YouTube version of our podcasts. So everyone here should make a point of going there, “watching” the podcasts, and NOT* clicking on all the ads, or whatever it is you have to do to make money magically appear in our account. The YouTube channel is actually a remarkably easy way of listening to the podcast on your mobile device, too. And we might even make a dollar!
Don’t want to play that game? Well, there’s always good, old fashioned donations! Please consider subscribing to provide ongoing, monthly support via Patreon.

Greg Dworkin’s round-up called the tune for today, as is so often the case. First order of business: explaining why we spent yesterday talking about cilia and mucus. Now, back to our studies. Learn all you can about Trump voters, but don’t lose sight of what they did. And don’t confuse the sources of their confusion, either. Your daily dose of divination on the future of Obamacare, as researchers race to save data from the plundering Goths. As with most things Trump, the longer we stare, the worse the story becomes. This time: how he’s choosing his cabinet. Not all scientists are repulsed by Trump. But those who aren't are repulsive to the rest. North Carolina’s Republican legislative coup rolls on, leaving Charlotte Dems holding the bag. The FBI’s warrant for the Clinton emails was garbage, but lol yolo. And no, this is not normal. How did America fall for this wave of “fake news?” Maybe it started with falling for “reality TV” that was never real, either. And neither were most of his biggest applause lines. But if The Wall isn’t happening, and he’s not going to “lock her up,” or “drain the swamp, then how do we know his supporters who love their Obamacare and are sure he won’t touch it aren’t right?
