I think it is important we hear it.

Thank you. Oof. He sounds... charming.

Listening now - this is very interesting. Who is the woman he’s speaking to?

I have a lot of questions after listening to that. First, I felt kind of dirty eavesdropping in on that call but I won’t lie and say it isn’t always interesting to hear people talk about these real issues offline where every thought and word it edited to make themselves sound better.

But I’d like to know who he was speaking to, what prompted the call and when this call was made. It doesn’t sound like it was in reaction to their post the other day so I don’t know what photo they’re referring to when they mention it.

I believe the call is from last summer.

I pulled up the original Reddit post in which it was shared by the person who recorded it, and you can see their Reddit posting history. It does seem to date back several months but the person doesnt provide a lot of context for the call. 
 

Although NY is a one-party consent state when it comes to recording phone conversations in most situations, I still think this is pretty icky, particularly when the greatest crime Fox seems to have committed is… being egotistical and having poor judgement?

Thanks for posting this. I think Slam Frank has done way more harm than good, but it's hard to take anyone seriously who calls it Zionist propaganda. Zionist is not a slur. It basically has always meant Jew. For thousands of years.

This is not meant as an argumentative question but I’m genuinely curious how you think the show has done more harm than good. Not even saying a show HAS to “do good” in the fist place, I’m just curious why you feel that way.

A little bit from the original post still comes up at the moment in a Google search.



I did see the post before it was pulled and she described a little bit about how he came to call her, but I don't remember the details.

For a guy who wrote a play about the blind spots of the "woke left", he sure has a lot of blind spots himself. I don't think that conversation is horribly damning, but it is pretty much what I expected from what I've heard about this show. I think there is a valid point there about the weaponization of identity politics against the very people who should be allies in our fight against fascism, but I feel like Fox, and this show, risks playing into those very politics by perpetuating both false equivalencies and divisions between the experiences of marginalized groups.

This whole thing is starting to feel like the season-long B-plot of the theatrical equivalent of "The Morning Show," with Ben Schwartz playing an Andrew-Fox-esque character.

With all the talk about deleted threads and leaked conversations, I was expecting something MUCH more damning, but that call seems like more of the same in terms of the show's marketing and tone... plus the fact that it's from last year and not in regards to the current controversy left me wanting more, or at least different, from this whole thing.

Yes, i am genuinely confused as to why this was “leaked” at all.

"False equivalence" is also how I'd describe the way that people conflate the issues that result from leftists struggling to coalesce (cringe infighting, sloppy messaging) with everything conservatives have been doing for the past fifty years (a ruthless top-down effort to pervert democracy), so I don't have a huge amount of patience for both-sides satire.
