Jack Shafer covers the media for Politico.\n\n\u201cThis is a true story, not a \u2018Brian Williams story\u2019: my first report card said \u2018Jack is a very good student, but he has a tendency to start fights on the playground and bring them back into the classroom.\u2019 That's been my career style \u2014 start a fight and bring it back to the classroom.\u201d\n\nThanks to TinyLetter and Lynda for sponsoring this week's episode.
