This week, Ezra Klein’s “explainer” news site Vox scored an interview with President Obama. Given that Vox is not yet a year old, one might expect some backbiting from the more established media outlets that did not score the big interview.
From all the reports flying around, it seems as though former NBC anchor Tom Brokaw is now the elder statesman of the news division, and he is not at all happy with the fact that his predecessor, Brian Williams, has

John Podesta built his reputation as a Democratic Party wise man by trying to salvage the second terms of two presidents. He’s about to duck out of the White House to try to engineer the election of a third.
