73: Bedbugs & Bret Stephens (w/ Dave Karpf)

Dave Karpf, an associate professor in the School of Media and Public Affairs at George Washington University, joins DOOMED with Matt Binder to discuss calling conservative New York Times columnist Bret Stephens a metaphorical bedbug and the "feud" that has now sprung out of it. Dave shares with us what happened when Stephens emailed him and his provost, the MSNBC interview after Stephens quite Twitter when "Bretbug" began trending, what's going on at the NY Times?, the piece Stephens published basically equating Dave (who is Jewish) to a nazi for calling him a bedbug, how a digital media professor is using his own headline news in the classroom, will Stephens come to the university for a discussion on civility?, and much more! Also in the patron only half of the show, a call from listener Grim Locke about Bernie Sanders' campaign and its effectiveness against white supremacy, Matt's new YouTube livestream background, plus your questions, comments, and much more!
