Rich GreenfieldGUEST
Obviously, they have the support of DirecTV and they're sort of the next art Tegna situation.
Rich GreenfieldGUEST
Why this played out differently? I mean, Dylan, I feel like at the end of the day, politics and whether the sort of subtle blackmail of we're leaving California, whether that was actually the catalyst, but it certainly seemed like the pressure – politically on Bonta was just growing to the point of being extreme.
Rich GreenfieldGUEST
We had been talking last week that it felt like this was shifting direction pretty quickly, and that's the way it obviously turned out.
Rich GreenfieldGUEST
But I think the heat just got turned up too high on Bonta.
Dylan ByersHOST
He gets it.
Dylan ByersHOST
In any event, he's got it now or should have it now.
Dylan ByersHOST
It's fair to say, Dylan, it's
Rich GreenfieldGUEST
fair to say the reason they pursued this, like in normal world, you would have waited a couple of years.
Peter HambyHOST
We're gonna talk about 60 Minutes, their ratings decline in their debut, what's attributing to that, all the criticism coming from familiar corners of, of Barry Weiss, Nick Bilton, the whole new crew over there at CBS.
Peter HambyHOST
Our colleague Dylan Byers has obviously been writing about that.
Peter HambyHOST
Other media newsletter writers have opinions.
John KellyPANELIST
Hmm.
Keith OlbermannHOST
And the other, perhaps more important part, while we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, if you're gonna boast that you do not comment on books as a matter of principle, then don't comment on a book! Your comment there means you are violating your own principles! You don't have any principles! Your principles are not to comment, and here you are commenting on a book! Once again, I think kings are a bad idea.
Keith OlbermannHOST
But the winner, worse than the King of England, and that's what he will take away from this, the worst, Dylan Byers of Puck.
Keith OlbermannHOST
Renowned for a generation of us as a shill, as a self-proclaimed media writer who never met management he didn't like and never really once defended anybody who, you know, actually did the media part.
Keith OlbermannHOST
Only those who owned it.
Keith OlbermannHOST
That was before he got fired by CBS as well.
Keith OlbermannHOST
They said Jeff Schell had never sent me any emails and we had never really discussed my going back to MSNBC.
Keith OlbermannHOST
So I showed Dylan Byers the emails from Jeff Schell and he was in shock while noting that this made his reporting on it completely incorrect.
Keith OlbermannHOST
He did express shock that they and said, obviously, that I was right and NBC was wrong and he would write that.
John PodhoretzHOST
That's how you know that these guild newsletters they, that, that Eliana's talking about, that's Oliver Darcy's Status and, um, Semafor's, uh, media newsletter and Lachlan C-

John PodhoretzHOST
That is the set opposite circumstance from the one that Seth and Eliana are talking about here, and why he continues to do this and subsidize this paper and pay for this paper when all that happens for him is misery and personal attack and slander and mistreatment, I don't really know.
Jessica TarlovGUEST
But, you know, it's a lot of self-selling, which I find fundamentally uncomfortable.
Jessica TarlovGUEST
So I'm uncomfortable, Dylan.
Jessica TarlovGUEST
How are you?
Dylan ByersHOST
I'm good.

Peter HambyHOST
John, MS now president Rebecca Cutler, my former colleague at CNN, sat down with Dylan Byers in The Grill Room to talk through MS now's subscription play.

Dylan.
Dylan ByersHOST
Did you watch any football this week?
Julia AlexanderHOST
I did.
Julia AlexanderHOST
I, I woke up, Dylan, like a kid on Christmas morning.
Dylan ByersHOST
[laughs]
Julia AlexanderHOST
I turned over to Kevin and I whispered, like, "Football's back." Like, it was, like, the greatest moment.
Julia AlexanderHOST
They'd go like, "We understand, like, you're seeing this for this reason, but, you know, we don't necessarily want to endorse it." So when we see increases in it, you typically see the CEOs come out and say, like, "Here's how the algorithm works," without actually telling you how it works.
Hayes DavenportHOST
Others in the media media sort of piled on in that moment.
Hayes DavenportHOST
Puck had an article by Dylan Byers, and they did a podcast as well, sort of wondering – If Pablo Torre's cowboy podcaster reporting style could coexist with the New York Times that was now hosting it.
Hayes DavenportHOST
And they put out a podcast with the title Pablo Torre versus the truth.
Hayes DavenportHOST
And their journalist, Peter Hamby, who was hosting it said – If big mainstream media outlets aren't touching your scoop, to me, that's not defending Seabalmer, the NBA, or the Clippers.
Peter HambyHOST
It's Wednesday, September 9th.
Peter HambyHOST

Peter HambyHOST
I'm joined today by my colleague, Dylan Byers.
Peter HambyHOST
