Recode's Kara Swisher: Where is the line in opposition research? Or frankly, what sort of things in someone's personal life are merit for publication or merit for attack? Recode left a lot out at Recode. We did write about Sergey Brin's affair because it had a direct impact. If you are an opposition researcher who is working to elect Democrats, your bar might be very different,. There's no international association of oppo researchers that are going to like censure you, or remove your credentials.
Puck's Teddy Schleifer is Kara's co-host, chatting about Sam Bankman-Fried’s legal woes, Barbie hitting $1 billion, and the Musk v. Zuckerberg cage fight. Then, Donald Trump’s response to his latest indictment, and the money behind the presidential candidates. Then we’re joined by Friend of Pivot and political pollster, Frank Luntz to make sense of the latest poll numbers on the 2024 election.
You can follow Teddy at @teddyschleifer, and read his work at Puck.News.
