Page 337 - Medium News Today

Country. the conflation thats taken place today between opinion and news is harder and harder to sort of unwrap, unravel. do you think it makes it that your job is harder today because of that? even though the opinion page has always been what it has been. >> sure it is. its harder today partly because the medium where people read us most, lets say on the phone, its a little bit -- there is a vast space between the front page of the "new york times" and the opinion page of the "new york times," ...

>> anthony: what are we here to buy, by the way? whats the plan? >> marcus: i want to make doro wat. really the king of the chicken dishes in ethiopia. all right, so were going to head down here, get some good butter. you smell the fermentation? the funk? >> anthony: funk. >> anthony: kibbeh, an ethiopian butter in various stages of fermentation depending on what you like. it is a primary ingredient in much of the cooking. >> maya: so there is between, one is really fermented and another one is ...

Kept coming up over and over, spiking twitter use throughout the election. clintons e-mails and her e-mail server which we should note the fbi found no wrongdoing, and the hacked dnc and john podesta e-mails released by wikileaks which spawned a torrent of articles and more than a little fake news but produced no legitimate scandal. but those two issues by far in total eclipsed the trump controversies in total mentions. as the co-founder of echelon insights noted about this chart, possibly the b...

Which spawned a torrent of articles and more than a little fake news but produced no legitimate scandal. but those two issues by far in total eclipsed the trump controversies in total mentions. as the co-founder of echelon insights noted about this chart, possibly the best evidence yet. the medium moved on too quickly for anything to really stick to trump. 2016 was a completely insane year in politics, also a historic woman. we saw a woman become the first presidential nominee of a major polit...

The course of president obamas eight years. so obviously theres plenty of things you can criticize president obama on, and plenty of things donald trump may be able to take credit for in the future, but the stock market going up at this point, im not sure is quite one of those. just to the point about the tweets and the transition, i would just say that president-elect trump is in an interesting position. the look i see on his face from the press conference earlier today in florida is the same l...

Through them all. this was transferred on to carrie. >> people who have addictions all the time and even who suffer from mental health illness but what she did for those two causes really invaluable. >> of course. its incredible. taking her own personal struggles, already hard to deal with it. >> because of the stigma especially with mental health issues. >> exactly. to take all that and put it forward and help all these people is incredible work. >> matt, how do you think debbie reynolds will b...

On tv, on "golden girls" for an episode. she played debra messings mother on "will and grace" and a familiar face you could rely on for entertainment value. >> correct me if i am wrong, but i get the sense there are not many contemporary artists that were as multifa facetted. she was a singer, had records that came out. she was on tv, a businesswoman. seems to me thats rare these days. >> everybody wants to be a debbie reynolds. all the stars are trying to do tv and movies so they can branch out...

Carries father of course. four years later he ran off with reynolds best friend elizabeth taylor. massive scandal at the time wasnt it? low did she cope? >> huge scandal at time before the internet and tabloid culture of the 80s and 90s emerged. if happened today would have broke the internet. debbie reynolds coped with it okay. apparently didnt speak to elizabeth taylor for many years but when both ended up on a cruise together ended up having dinner with her and supposedly had a good laugh abo...

Same cloth. they both were introduced to the public as enjen us, girls next door. they were so far from that. they were so dark and complicated. they had horrible relationships with men and they got closer and closer and debbie just couldnt go on without carrie. its actually a beautiful love story. >> planning her funeral and then she has this -- this health episode, this stroke and dice. you talked about this being hollywood royalty. its like a fairy tale. debbie reynolds discovered at a beauty...

Its the medium, and i think there is a distinction. >> good conversation, guys. mark, rebecca, and katherine. thank you for talking with me. and merry christmas eve. >> thank you. >> also at this hour, beloved "star wars" actress carrie fisher suffered a heart attack on a flight from london to lax on friday night. many of her fans and former co-stars are tweeting messages of support as she recovers. well bring you t latest on her condition as we learn more. next, a look back at the obama legac...
