Power Lines with Oliver Darcy and Jon Passantino

Google's Trump Problem, Absurd Taylor Swift Media Coverage, CNN Raids WSJ


Listen Later

Welcome to another edition of Power Lines. Here’s what Oliver and Jon are covering this week:

Google Bends the Knee: OAN is back on YouTube TV — a sharp reversal after the platform once deemed the network too unserious to carry. Is Google cozying up to OAN to keep Trump happy as the Fox–YouTube TV standoff drags on?
Taylor Swift Got Engaged: You already knew that. What’s surprising is how the media — including journalists with plenty of serious news to cover — have reacted to it.
CNN Poaches from WSJ: CNN is snapping up high-profile WSJ staffers. Oliver and Jon dig into why the Journal is facing this talent drain.
Plus: Jay Penske is quietly selling off pieces of his Hollywood media empire.
Have a great weekend — see you next week.
