What This Journalist's Stunning Career C...

About this episode

Dive into this episode of the Ruthless Variety Program, where hosts Josh Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan, and John Ashbrook peel back the curtain on the cozy relationship between mainstream media and the Democratic Party. This episode is packed with jaw-dropping revelations, hilarious commentary, and unfiltered takes on the state of journalism, politics, and culture in 2025.

🔥 What’s Inside:

Journos Turned Democrats: We expose the revolving door between journalism and Democratic politics, spotlighting Hannah Trudeau, a former Hill reporter now running for Congress in New Hampshire. Is she a “working-class Granite Stater” or a Manhattanite posing for Vogue? You decide!

The New Yorker’s Elite Showcase: A laugh-out-loud breakdown of The New Yorker’s feature on “notable New Yorkers” like Al Sharpton, AOC, Alex Soros, Ella Emhoff, and con artist Anna Delvey. From Al’s self-portrait shrine to AOC’s staged knitting session, we reveal the unrelatable, joyless face of the modern Democratic elite.

Goat of the Week: Celebrate a Tennessee ICE agent smoking a victory cigar after a job well done, despite outrage from activist groups. Real heroes making communities safer! Florida Man’s Wild Scam: A Florida man’s triple bigamy scheme—marrying three women in three counties for their bank accounts—unravels in a tale of deception, domestic drama, and dating app disasters.

Question of the Day: With journos jumping ship to Substack or politics, what should they do next? Run for office, marry a Soros, or start an OnlyFans? We want YOUR take!
