Elle Reeve x Tim Dillon CNN Interview

@kss9131
This is the longest SNL skit I've ever seen

@mvcharisma
That CNN host would do great working at an insurance company denying claims with a smile and soft voice. It's the perfection of NPR ASMR torture

@defconquell
I have to give Elle Reeve credit tho. She is doing the CNN talking points in the most wonderfully friendly way possible

@malcolmnicoll1165
Are some people annoying? Yes. Should they be shamed into gulags? Oh, sure, that's a very appropriate response

@JamisonRelapse
Tim Dillon looks like he's teaching his niece how the world works.

@DJValor311
I'd be willing to bet Tim Dillon is in the neighborhood of a 130 IQ and they threw this chick at him. Bless her heart.


Wow. Very brave of CNN here. At one point, Reeve asked if Dillon and podcasters are the new establishment in the aftermath of the 2024 election.

"I don't think I'm the new establishment. If you weigh, again, a few comedians with podcasts versus all of the people that supported Kamala Harris. You know, Democrat donors, billionaires, big people. If the idea is me and a few comedians have more power than multi-billionaires, huge media institutions, a whole political party apparatus... I just don't think most people are going to buy that. I think it seems like a great way to excuse running an unpopular candidate on a platform that American people weren't sold on," Dillon awkwardly explained while seemingly amused at what he was sitting through.

At another point, Reeve asked who the liberal comedians were, and Dillon looked quite surprised. He then proceeded to give her a list of a dozen liberal comedians more successful than him. I do think there should be more of these quasi-autistic aristocrat "Paypal Mafia" AI billionaires being held to account on long form podcasts. It's healthy to at least have a polite dialogue as these massive mountains of money are being moved around.
