At a pivotal moment in American politics, the divisions on display in the Democratic party are also playing out inside the progressive media powerhouse, pitting members of the young, idealistic staff against the more moderate hosts and founders of parent company Crooked Media.Issues such as the war in Gaza and a stalled union-organizing push have consumed many staffers at a time when there’s little room for distraction.
