Jonathan Martin is returning to Politico after almost a decade at The New York Times.
Martin has been the senior political correspondent for the Times and a political analyst for CNN. He also is the co-author with Alexander Burns of This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden and the Battle for America’s Future.
At Politico, Martin will serve as politics bureau chief and as a senior political columnist. Burns left the Times in September to join Politico as columnist and associate editor for global politics.
In an announcement to staff, Politico executive editor Dafna Linzer wrote that Martin “is uniquely able to capture the forces at play while understanding that politics must in the end be a serious enterprise—the way a democracy gives expression to its real values.” He will start in his new role on Nov. 1.
Martin had announced recently that he was departing the Times, but did not reveal his future plans.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that as the Capitol Police were clearing out Congress following the attack on the Capitol last Jan. 6, Lindsey Graham’s mind was on politics. The senator from South Carolina was thinking specifically about how the riot could rally the nation, and who the best president would be to shepherd the nation through the healing process.
It wasn’t Donald Trump.

According to a forthcoming book by two New York Times reporters, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-w.Va.) in February 2021 told a group of three Republican senators that he would become an independent and caucus with the GOP if Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) were their leader in the Senate.

Donald Trump doesn’t seem too bothered that Kevin McCarthy privately trashed him after the attack on the Capitol.
The former president and the House minority leader spoke last week after The New York Times reported on the latter’s post-Jan. 6 comments, with the former seeming more amused than anything, noting that McCarthy’s failure to follow through on his tough talk was a sign of the Republican Party’s support for him. Punchbowl News on Thursday pointed to a new excerpt from the Times writers’ new book in which...

Fox News correspondent John Roberts came under fire on Friday after declining to come to the aid of his fellow reporter Jim Acosta after Trump lambasted the journalist and CNN as “fake news.”
“Old enough to remember when other networks came to the defense of Fox News Wh correspondents during the Obama years. Such did not happen here,” said CNN host Jake Tapper.
“Lesson for the kids out there: no one should ever try to do the right thing with the expectation it will ever be reciprocated.”

Tapper’s jab refers to a moment in 2010 during a period of heightened tensions between President Obama and Fox News, in which Fox’s media competitors warned they they would not tolerate the president blocking Fox News from an interview with a White House official.

Bill Clinton was criticized for remarks he made during an interview with PBS while on his book tour with James Patterson to promote their book “The President is Missing”
During an interview with Judy Woodruff, the former president observed that the norms surrounding consent had evolved since his time in the White House.
“I think the norms have really changed in terms of, what you can do to somebody against their will,” he said. “You don’t have to physically assault somebody to make them, you know, uncomfortable at work or at home or in their other — just walking around.”

Charlie Rose faced internet wrath after the New York Post reported Wednesday evening that someone was shopping a #MeToo redemption series which would star the disgraced CBS anchor.
Per the Post, the plan would call for Rose to interview various men who have seen their careers toppled in the sexual harassment reckoning that has whipped around media, Hollywood and politics. The Page Six report said some of the possible interview subjects included Louis C.K and Matt Lauer.
Writing for the Post, Ian Mohr said that Vanity Fair and Daily Beast alum Tina Brown had been approached to produce the potential series but had turned it down.

We read every week, it seems like, about good reporters losing their jobs having done nothing wrong except work for a paper owned by the wrong hedge fund. That seems like a more urgent problem than whether Charlie Rose ever gets to do another interview.

Britain's Prince Charles was given a personalised gift for his future grandchild yesterday (14.03.13). The prince visited the Williams F1 facility at the Qatar Science and Technology Park in Doha as part of his Middle East tour and the company CEO Alex Burns gave him a babygrow in the style of the team's racing overalls for the baby of Charles' son Prince William and his wife Duchess Catherine. The belt of the babygrow was embroidered with 'Hrh' - for His or Her Royal Highness - echoing the way Formula 1 drivers have their initials on their racing overalls. Mr. Burns said: 'Here is something we have had embroidered for your future grandchild, Sir, very many congratulations.' Charles - who will...

Rich white people have two hobbies: controlling the government and tweeting about Mad Men. Which explains why, in less than 48 hours, Republican presidential candidate and walking quantum theory Mitt Romney has suddenly found himself the unwitting subject of two separate Mad Men-related Twitter arguments. On Sunday’s Mad Men, Romney’s father got a shout out when Henry Francis was overheard yelling into a telephone, “Romney is a clown and I don’t want him standing next to him!” This was a reference to Mitt’s father, Governor George S. Romney, a Lee Marvin lookalike who infamously cratered his...

Actor Alex Burns led police to discover the body of his late friend Adam 'DJ Am' Goldstein on Friday following the star's death from a suspected drug overdose, according to U.S. reports.
Police broke into Goldstein's home on Lafayette Street in Lower Manhattan at 5.20pm on Friday evening. Initial reports suggested police were alerted by a concerned friend who had been unable to reach him for several days.
According to the New York Daily News, Burns - best known for his role in 2004 film Garden State - showed up to meet the star at his apartment before the pair's flight to Las Vegas, where Goldstein was due to play at The Palms Casino Resort on Friday.
Burns reportedly alerted the building's superintendent to unlatch the door after Goldstein failed to answer, prompting the emergency call.
The cause of Goldstein's death remains inconclusive after officials completed an initial autopsy on Saturday. Additional toxicology tests, which are expected to take weeks, are needed to determine what killed the beatmaker.
The medical examiner is cooperating with the New York City Police Department in an official investigation, amid reports Goldstein, 36, was found with drug paraphernalia in his home.
His death comes just a year after he survived a plane crash with friend and collaborator Travis Barker, the drummer for Blink-182.

PARK CITY -- On the Road with Judas is one more attack on the notion that films need to have linear stories with main characters and a cathartic ending. Adapting his novel of the same name, director-writer JJ Lask has fashioned a film about the nature of narrative and storytelling, along with other scatological observations about life and art that seemingly popped into his head. Clever and moderately entertaining, film is a puzzle that will find some supporters as surely as it will sharply divide audiences. Controversy could generate some interest on the art house circuit.
The starting point for On the Road with Judas could well have been the ending of Annie Hall where Woody Allen, playing a writer, stages a play in which he winds up with Annie, contrary to how events turned out in the "real-life" of the film. He tells the audience that if he can't get things to go his way in life, at least he can in art.
In Judas, Kevin Corrigan plays a character named JJ Lask who has written a book called On the Road with Judas. The so-called "real" people that the book is based on are played by one set of actors, while the same "fictionalized" characters from the book are played by another set of actors. Sound confusing? It is, intentionally so.
The storyline on its own is pretty straightforward. Judas (Aaron Ruell and Eddie Kaye Thomas) is a computer systems designer by day and, with his best buddy Francis (Alex Burns and Leo Fitzpatrick), a computer thief by night, vandalizing college campus all around New England. Judas meets a girl, Serra (Eleanor Hutchins and Amanda Loncar), falls in love and wants to tell her everything. But in Lask's version nothing is simple.
In full postmodern mode, Judas is more a commentary on a love affair than The Real Thing. Much of the romance is literally played out on the stage of a talk show called "Let's Have Drinks," hosted by Rubin Parker Jr. (played by the real JJ Lask). The real characters, Corrigan as Lask, and even the fictional characters come on the show and dissect what's happening in the book.
Lask seems more concerned with exploring the creative process and how all characters are lies fabricated from some kernel of reality, than he is in the actual love affair. Consequently, one watches more with a sense of detachment, trying to figure out who's who than a rooting interest in these people getting together. Although the performances strike the right earnest but ironic tone, none of the characters -- only the author played by Corrigan -- come off as fully developed people. With the exception of one moving love scene where Judas bears his soul and says he would give up everything for Serra, Lask's way to the heart is clearly through the head.
Keeping all the balls in the air is a first-rate technical feat, aided by Lask's brisk editing (he was an award-winning editor of commercials) with Jason Kileen. Jennifer Dehghan's production design, particularly for the stage of the mock talk show and Judas' basketball-court-sized loft, captures the spacey tone of the material.
Savvy moviegoers may recognize elements of Charlie Kaufman's work, specifically the real-fictional characters of Adaptation, as well the shifting personalities of David Lynch films such as Mulholland Drive. Whether the pieces add up to anything will be a subject for heated debate after the film.
