It seems our political class want to bypass traditional media to get their message out. Amol Rajan and @aiannucci.bsky.social discuss this and more. We also hear about misleading news headlines and Trump's 'doctored' image.

Only the Fake News Would Come Up with This (with Amol Rajan)
Today 09:45

Is the new media landscape helping politicians avoid scrutiny? Or are they just connecting directly with the public?

A two-pronged attack today. 9.45am a new #StrongMessageHere on #BBCRadio4 and all podcast platforms, and a new #Taskmaster at 9 tonight on #Channel4. See which word I’ve snuck into both.

I’m confident that a bewildered face and swearing at ducks is a solid foundation from which I can grow a successful campaign. I look forward to winning your full support. #Taskmaster
We had a hoot. Whether it was a successful hoot or not, I cannot say.
Ha!

What a brilliant opener to the new series of #Taskmaster. Loving the dynamic between the contestants, and there were some wonderful tasks.

This week @hugorifkind.bsky.social joins @aiannucci.bsky.social to chat about religious language in politics. What is Trump's favourite bible passage? Why did the Pope rebuke Hegseth? And we ponder the age-old question—which Easter has been best, militarily?

Three kisses to anyone who can dig out the scene in Veep where Selina talks about the horrors of war to a Marine dressed as the Easter Bunny. It’s out there somewhere.

So am I
Yes, I had tremendous fun. I’d go so far as to say it was a hoot from start to finish. And I like hoots.

Statue of Winston Churchill in Parliament Square, but Winston has been replaced by a badger standing on its hind legs
Great episode, and always good to see Roy Wood Jnr guest hosting.
I understand why you dismissed the idea of replacing the Churchill statue, but hear me out...

Is AI too sycophantic? Should we worry about how military-grade AI is being sold in start-up jargon? Let's ask AI (Armando Iannucci). Plus, @aiannucci.bsky.social and Stewart Lee treat us to a dramatic reading of a Chat GPT interaction.
