and a moderator. he praised each other and bashed the mainstream media. no shortage of hit pieces on you in the press over the last week or two. i thinks this is a function of these, the legacy media, these corporate journal they re in their little bubble. i saw a headline from the atlantic basically claiming that anyone who listens to this space on twitter basically a nazi. howard: but by then they d lost half their audience, so why did ron desantis roll the dice on twitter not blowing up like a spacex rocket? he s hardly a big fan of the mainstream media and not a great can orator, so he made the digital bet. the coverage of musk, who s been hated by left-wingers and admired by right-wingers. i mean, look at in this disgusting vanity fair headline, ron desantis the will formally announce with elon miss you can because apparently david duke wasn t available. i m howard kurtz and this is mediabuzz. howard: ahead, finally a debt ceiling deal, but is the press t
