Media Monday: D.C. Turmoil & Zazpocalypse Now
Jon Kelly joins Peter for a discussion about the D.C. media fascination du jour--will the annual White House Correspondents Association dinner take place this year or get Covid-cancelled? The gala, a veritable celebrity event in the Obama years, essentially went on hiatus in the Trump era. Is it back? Are D.C. reporters going to reprise their star power or revert to C-SPAN cover stars? As usual, there is an ulterior motive to this anxiety. Also: the two kibbitz about David Zaslav's first day helming the newly combined Warner Bros. Discovery. After a year of foreplay, the market is still surprisingly cool on the deal. How can Zaz change that?
