Trouble at the Daily Beast, right wing reax to campus protests to come

New York magazine editor Justin Miller and I discuss his latest piece on problems with the new owners of the Daily Beast, plus our predictions on right wing reactions to recent campus protests.

Last week I wrote about the wars to come, in which I describe what I think will be the natural — and possibly violent! — right-wing reaction to recent campus protests. That prediction, if you want to call it that, is based on my experience covering unrest over the last decade. Throughout much of that time, I was in conflict scenarios writing and reporting for my longtime editor, Justin Miller. Much of that work came when Miller was an editor at the Daily Beast. Now, he’s at New York magazine, where he’s recently dusted off his pen for a piece he actually wrote and didn’t just edit. I say just edit, because for all our years together, I still don’t really understand what editors do. Kidding. Miller has made my work better since our very first story together, back on the tear gas-choked street in Ferguson. I hope you enjoy the conversation.
