Episode notes
Russ is joined by a very special guest, the inimitable Will Sloan. Russ and Will reminisce about their days at Columbia Journalism School before breaking down the New Yorker Political Scene's breakdown of the 1993 documentary The War Room by D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus. The film took audiences behind the scenes of Bill Clinton's successful 1992 presidential campaign, which gave rise to the media careers of people whose repugnant political views continue to plague us to this day. People like George Stephanopoulos, Paul Begala and James Carville. The NYPS braintrust is joined on their episode by Begala and Carville themselves, in all their loathsome glory, as they make parallels between Clinton '92 and Harris '24.
