Oh, I did see the myth of the liberal media piece the other day, actually.Video was indeed funny, but I do a much better Mick Jagger than you. Sorry.I'll forward this to Apple. Also, I'm extraordinarily swamped with this Hastings thing right now and about to move to a new apartment, but we should talk soon. Can you give me a call or write in a week or so?

I've stumbled on The Faster Times occasionally -- good to hear you're going to be writing for it. Looks like a good site, and I'd love to get in contact with your friend Sam. If he's looking at writing samples, here are two quick ones of mine, both of which focus on the awful corporate media.
CNN claims 'credible threat' from Yemen, writes hilariously bad propaganda piece
And here's one of my more sober posts, about the awful health care coverage and the myth of liberal bias in the media.
The myth of the liberal media, health care edition
Here's the link to the latest video I did with my sister Molly.

Enjoy, and let me know if Sam is looking for more people. Thanks Barrett.

Hi, John-Thanks for getting in touch; any friend of Kilkenny's is a friend of mine.My old friend Sam Apple has started an outlet called The Faster Times which I'm about to start writing for. Let me know if you'd like me to get you in touch with him.Also, though I haven't had a chance to see your work, my associate Clark Robinson says that in addition to being an above-par commentator, you do humorous videos as well with your sister. Could you send me a link to one?

Barrett,
Hey there. I'm a fellow T/S blogger and friend of Allison Kilkenny's. I enjoy your T/S posts, and I just read your defense of Hastings in VF, which I thought was great. Now that T/S is shutting down, I'm looking for a place to direct my energies, and Allie suggested I contact you. I feel like you and I share a similar kind of hatred for the chattering class and the corporate media in general.
If you'd like, I can send along writing samples, but for now I just wanted to drop you a line and say 1) great piece on Hastings, and 2) I'd love to be involved in any project that puts Friedman, Krauthammer, Brooks, et al in its sight lines.
