Three former staffers to President Obama are launching an anti-Donald Trump media site called “Crooked Media.”

Tommy Vietor, Jon Favreau and Jon Lovett, who served as spokespeople and speechwriters for Obama, say the site's aim is to go around traditional media to reach millennial Democrats.

“We’re not journalists, we’re not unbiased, we’re not always serious and we’re certainly not always right,” Vietor, Favreau, and Lovett explain in Crooked Media's mission statement. “But we promise a no-bulls–t conversation about politics where you can laugh, cry, scream, ridicule us daily, share your ideas, and hopefully decide that you want to help fix this mess too.”

Vietor, Favreau and Lovett, along with former White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer, hosted a biweekly podcast called "Keepin’ It 1600," on The Ringer website. It has since been retitled as "Pod Save America," following Trump's victory in November.

1. They are very smart. I really like Favreau.

I will support this effort with my $$$, if solicited.

They are right. We have to go around traditional media to get our message out.

4. Yep. Like him better

than Vietor. He has a mean streak about him for some reason. Just and observation.


Best wishes to them though. Need all the anti-trump forces out there.

2. yeah, I listened to their old show a lot-- they are a lot of fun and smart guys

Even thought they were way off with predicting Hillary's win, it was still good stuff. I'm looking forward to this.
