Good morning,
I hope that this note finds you well. If you’re like the rest of us at Puck, you’re fervently fixated on the drama at last evening’s Oscars—Apple’s triumph over Netflix in the Best Picture category, sure, but mainly Will Smith’s stunning on-stage clocking of Chris Rock, and his subsequent in-seat commentary.
Fortunately for you, Matt Belloni was in the audience and he taped this emergency episode of The Town, his fantastic podcast, that dives right into the matter and gets to the heart of what really went down. You’ll get the sort of in-the-room, insiders-only insight that you crave, and you can only find at Puck.
Meanwhile, stick around, below the fold, for a special Media Monday episode of The Powers That Be: Daily. As ever, Peter Hamby and I discuss CNN+’s forthcoming launch, Buzzfeed’s blues, and what the chattering classes are really chattering about.
For complete access to all the great writing, reporting, breaking news, and analysis at Puck, start your free trial today. As a bonus, if you become a Member today, you'll also get one-time access to Matt's off-the-record, Inner Circle conference call this Tuesday.
We hope you enjoy and have a great day.
Best, Jon
Media Monday: Fox News Player Hating, CNN+'s Lillyhammer, and the Buzzfeed Secret Peter Hamby is back just in time for another Media Monday. Jon Kelly joins to discuss Chris Wallace's parting words to Fox News, the respected journalist's jump to CNN+ and his Norman Rockwellesque new TV show. Then they lament how BuzzFeed News became a listicle of itself.
