Jennifer Rubin left the Republican party, declaring herself a “NeverTrump, pro-democracy opinion writer,” according to her Twitter page. And now Politico has taken it upon themselves to try and bring her down, publishing an “off the record” email she wrote, escalating the drama, which as Eric explains, boils down to their anger over her very-typical press practices. Eric Boehlert is the writer and publisher of Pressrun.media, our stalwart source for holding the press accountable, and he unpacks the Politico/Jennifer Rubin story and explains how Politico’s act of publishing her off-the-record email proves the point she was making in the email in question. Eric also gets into the coverage of the California recall election, and how it isn’t surprising that the press isn’t calling it like it is, as Republicans’ embarrassing failure.
