The Times reporter sparked criticism that afternoon by sharing a post Stephanie Cutter, deputy primary campaign manager Quentin Fulks, and campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon — gave an autopsy on Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign.
The podcast’s the voters they need most to win over. Why did they fail in the end? And what Democrats should do differently next time.”
Astead reshared the post and provided his own caption, writing: “A great advertisement for the importance of independent media.”
This reporter took issue with the fact that Harris, though, has had a lot of favorable coverage among the older media. Compared to President Trump But she still lost to him.
One widely cited reason for Trump’s victory is that the GOP candidate sat down for several key non-traditional media interviews. Including one on “The Joe Rogan Experience” and the popular “Flagrant” podcast, these interviews have been viewed millions of times. And it allows Trump to appeal to a younger demographic.
One of the complaints made by Harris campaign officials during a recent interview was about podcasts and other new format outlets. Unwilling to interview Cutter claims that the popular YouTube show “Hot Ones” declined to interview Harris because it didn’t want to get involved in politics.
Favreau was indignant at Astead’s dig and responded with The New York Times, ridiculing it for publishing multiple reports in recent years about President Biden’s age as a key concern for voters.

A New York Times reporter responded, “You’d think you’d be more embarrassed. But I understand that this is like a Sims game for you.”
Author Hank Green responded to this thread. Admonishing Favreau for arguing with reporters, he wrote, “I hear a lot of people saying that we need to stay away from this type of unconstructive conflict. And I feel like one of those people is you.”
A former Obama official responded, “Fair! I admit I was caught off guard by the NYT reporter. Little did I know they were attacking our media companies. But I should know how to engage with him.”
Favreau and Green’s separate conversations continue. The author said: “What I will say is that the entire internet world has spent the past few months blaming the New York Times for every bad thing that has happened, as if that time mattered to people. Might vote for Trump It’s almost like they never went into Donald Trump’s TikTok account.”
Favreau defended The Times, replying, “Oh, I know and think that most of the brands criticizing the NYT are unwarranted and aimed at a channel that is about 90% of the Dem audience. I really like Astead’s reporting, too, and his pod. him too”
“His QT (quotetwitter) about how his PSA (Pod Save America) interview with the Harris campaign was an ad for independent outlets like the NYT because I thought it didn’t appeal to him,” the podcast host added.
The New York Times and CrookedMedia, “Pod Save America’s” producers, did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s requests for comment.
