An internal New York Times memo leaked to The Intercept revealed editorial restrictions on using terms like "genocide," "ethnic cleansing," and "occupied territory" when reporting on the conflict in Gaza. The report noted a significant disparity in the use of emotive language, with "massacre" and "slaughter" applied far more frequently to Israeli deaths than Palestinian ones. The leak suggests internal dissent among staff regarding the paper's pro-Israel tone.

The hosts discuss the mainstream media's "resurgence" in podcasting, noting that traditional broadcasters often struggle with the format's lack of linear constraints. They contrast their own flexible show lengths with the rigid 59-minute slots of NPR or the "eyes-glazing" long-form posts of The Intercept. They argue that while they have no hard breaks, they still "edit in real time" by moving between topics naturally.

These profiles, sometimes compared to baseball cards, eventually reach the President's desk for final approval.
