## Resource

Politics is entertainment now. So is the news. The Right finally figured out how to use that — and so did the grifters who came in right behind them. Jeremy is joined LIVE by Shawn Farash, Siaka Massaquoi, and Jon Lewis to discuss what the convergence of news, politics, and entertainment makes possible, what it costs, and how to tell the difference between the people doing the work and the ones cashing in.
