Ask a Jew

Bad News Batya


Listen Later

We are thrilled to chat with Batya Ungar-Sargon, deputy opinion editor for Newsweek and author of "Bad News: How Woke Media Is Undermining Democracy."

In this Megillah (am I doing this right?):

  • The Islamic jihad comes for the Backstreet Boys
  • What kind of Jew is Batya?
  • Jewish matchmaking
  • I'm not Jewish, I'm Israeli: An intervention
  • Our various Jewish Identities
  • Batya's bananas background
  • Jews from authoritarian countries rule
  • Is Bernie Sanders a messianic Jew?
  • Batya's great un-wokening
  • Working class people are not as dumb as you think
  • A Bernie impression!
  • Real subway face punching has never been tried
  • The power of lurkers
  • Is wokeness a religion? Discuss
  • The secular world used to be one big orgy, now it’s just lame
  • It's been more than a year and Yael still doesn't understand what a Mikveh is, but she manages to tie it in to Donna Martin from Beverly Hills 90210
  • Batya's upcoming book about the working class

Between the war for Israel's security in the Middle East and the war for Israel's  heart in Liverpool (Eurovision... Google it!) we cover it all. Don't forget to follow us on Substack: Askajew.substack.com and on Instagram @Askajewpod
