Dahlhart also made an appearance-sort of-in Buster Keaton's THE NAVIGATOR: his recording of "Asleep In The Deep" is shown onscreen and when the phonograph is suddenly started up, his singing of the song scares the hell out of Keaton and GF Kathryn McGuire as they try to sleep. Too bad none of the home video releases include that recording on the soundtrack.
I think moving forward when a reporter does this it should be referred to as “pulling a Nuzzi” or “getting Nuzzi with —-“ or she/he “got Nuzzular with—-“
Even for those of us who are compulsive news-followers, this Nuzzi-RFK-Lizza story is a big "who-cares?". It might be juicy gossip to people in the journalism and media trades, but I can't see how it would be interesting to anyone else.
I hate to say it, but journalists are bottom feeders, and I don't have any baseline respect for anyone in the profession. I don't trust them, I don't think there are any standards, and the only people who do think there are seem to be in adjacent fields (of children who recently watched "all the President's men"). So you're right, unethical behaviour from a journalist is as news worthy as a doctor being proficient at golf.
With the announcement of the price hike, I would consider revoking my paid subscription. But then I would be an unpaid subscriber to this podcast, and I just can't abide that.
it was really annoying last year when all these journo types were like “don’t we all make mistakes? she’s such an amazing writer holy shit what a talent” Smart journo ppl too. I sometimes have a feeling all these ppl just write for each other more than a supposed audience. It explains why Vanity Fair was so eager to hire her ass. If she’s modern shakespeare i can’t tell. All those writer seem like good writers. There isn’t anyone else?!? plus the next installment alleges she did “catch and kill” assignments for RFK. Possibly making her indirectly responsible for future anti vaxx deaths. Or i’m getting ahead of myself
Speaking of the civil war and 80 year old veterans- something I think about a lot is the fact that the 80 year increment (approximately our life expectancy at this point) corresponds with pivotal points in US History.
80 years ago- the end of WW2.
80 years before that- the end of the Civil War.
80 years before that- the immediate aftermath of the Revolutionary War. Young people from each of these eras could have potentially heard firsthand accounts of these previous events from their grandparents. Along those lines- I recently found out that my paternal grandmother’s grandfather (my great great grandfather) was wounded at Gettysburg. She died in ‘98 when I was in my twenties. Her grandfather died when she was in her 20s. My dad, her son, does remember her mentioning this, which means she had probably talked to her grandfather about it. Supposedly, she said, her grandfather had traveled home from that battle with leaves stuffed in the wound. So, if I had known this fact while she was still alive I could have gotten a second hand account of his story. Wild stuff.
Not Alfred college but Alfred University. Upstate New York.
A big ceramics school. Not the ceramics department next to the basket weaving department kind of ceramics.
But ceramic nose cones for ICBMs type ceramics. Nose cones that are twice as effective as heat shields on the Mercury space capsules or the heat tiles on the Shuttle ... cause nose down super high heat reentry is the only way you can get MIRVs to hit their target... Those kind of ceramics.
Is her name pronounced "Nuzzy" (rhymes with fuzzy) or "Nut-zee" (traditional EYE-talian pronunciation)? I definitely think Nut-zee sounds cooler, like "Prizzi" from the classic Jack Nicholson/Kathleen Turner joint.

The Nuzzi trajectory reminds me of the pre-Code movie "Baby Face." But Barbara Stanwyck did it with more class.
Olivia seems to have a thing for old successful men. She started out with Keith Olbermann years ago. That's her jam, big meh.
She does have a big problem with work/play boundary issues obviously.....
No mason jar jokes?
Isn't that a Southern tea beverage receptacle?
I'm assuming Evergreen College has no sports teams?
Maybe Hacky Sack?
Olivia Nuzzi was also involved with Keith Olbermann. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Love the 100 years ago stuff (since you keep apologizing for it).
It really puts the stupidity of today in context of the stupidity of yesteryear.
Otherwise social media would have you believe that things have never been worse - which might be true if you only remember as far back as Obama.
