Bad Takes of the Week: Israel & Kamala | FREE PRESS LIVE

Tune in next week for another installment with Michael, Batya, more Free Pressers, and other friends of the show to help break down the most important news of the day.

Thanks to both of you for your work. I can barely open the Times these days without feeling stressed, and I don't watch cable news. I'm grateful for The Free Press.

Moynihan is a national treasure. Glad he survived Vice.

I stopped reading the NY Times a few years ago when I realized it was no longer a news source but merely a propaganda rag for the woke ideologues. Oct 7th was the nail in the coffin.

Batya is one of my new favorite journalists.

[JayEs]

Great show you two! Good rapport and chemistry

[mickeyd]

I love ya, Batya, and you are one of my absolute favorite people in the world of journalism! But, tariffs DO hurt the very consumers they are intended to help in almost every situation where they are employed. And tariffs almost never help the industries they are implemented to prop up.

I try imagine a stakeholder at the NYT and what they really think of the paper in 2024. How could you look at what’s happened & think it’s still the gold standard? It’s basically buzzfeed with more words.

We used to vote on a candidate's looks & pearly white smile; now it's just personality. Maybe one day we'll vote for policy positions.

[marcusmilling]

Lot's of good points here but....Tariffs don't impact the prices of goods.... this is the dumbest thing I have heard some one say this

[helpimabug]

Wow have I lost all my faith in Batya after hearing tariffs don't increase prices?

[aprilazmon]

Thank you for your common sense, it's a rare occurrence these days.

[heikostang]

This encapsulates the bad and the good of the Free Press. The first part is embarrassing. The second is really good.

"I love you, Batya, and I'm happy to sit next to you."

[EhthelStafford]

Why did they make him the best man of the year or whatever it was I think it was a New York times that did that best man of the year

[InfinitelyQurious]

Batya Ungar-Sargon, I love you calling out all the "wrong" claims. Very funny.

[CotesDuQ]

I love ya Batya but you are all wet on pretty much all points. The Times has become a biased, slanted near propaganda machine but all of the points you made re: Trump could be easily countered. I would have preferred to see a debate here about these issues as opposed to a biased op-ed.

[EuanHenry]

No matter how many times I hear Batya laugh it's always makes me smile

[dinora]

Love you two and continue your outstanding funny inspirational work

[theuglyfisherman]

This only exposed how delusional this woman is about Trump.

[backwards_cig]

Why would they not elaborate on or debate whether tariffs increase prices? Why are they just cackling and moving on? Silly stuff from these two chuckleheads.
