Because bon vivant Andrew Kugle has decided to use one of his vacation days on this, the most important of days, we won’t have an episode for you. Make sure to tune in next week for a very special episode: you won’t want to miss it.

Just wanted to give our dozens of loyal listeners a heads up: no episode this week. I realize this is a blow after having no episode LAST week but I promise we’ll be back next week. Well, promise is a strong word. I believe there will be an episode next week. Fingers crossed!

The gang discusses William Barr, wonders if Donald Trump will follow the lead of Democrats and refuse to concede if he loses, and shows contempt for the Worst of the Beacon.

The gang discusses the media’s self-congratulation over its Mueller coverage, wonders how best to clean up San Fran’s streets, and asks important questions, like: what was George magazine, exactly, and why are there two new lengthy profiles of the failed glossy?

On the latest episode, the gang wonders why the El Paso Times memory-holed a story explaining why people on Twitter think Beto O’Rourke is a furry and awards Liz a much-deserved worst of the Beacon honor.

Beto’s hacking history, Beto’s feet, Beto’s poems: It seems like the whole world revolves around Beto. But should a Reuters reporter have held the story about his history as a teenage hacker? And should lady journalists be gushing over his [checks notes] feet and teeth?

On the latest episode of Hacks on Hacks, the gang discusses the dangers of identity politics impacting news coverage and wonders if Jane Mayer is the most reliable writer when it comes to chronicling Fox News’s misdeeds.

On the latest episode of Hacks on Hacks, the gang asks if the Smollett saga might lead to some introspection, enjoys listening to Lara Logan go to town on the state of the press, and reveals which Free Beacon employee was the worst this week. Hint: he’s on the show.

On the latest episode of Hacks on Hacks, the gang discusses the Washington Post’s pricey Super Bowl ad, breaks down the whole “learn to code” thing, and wonders how much money the Covington kids should get in their suits against the celebrities that incited a mob against them.

The Free Beacon’s Hacks on Hacks will guide you through the very worst of what we see in the media on a weekly basis. Host Sonny Bunch joins panelists Liz Harrington and Alex Griswold and producer Andrew Kugle to help you find out who is talking about what, and why it matters. Plus: we’ll tell you about the worst thing the Free Beacon did each and every week. We don’t play favorites here.
