The true King of All Media in 2016 is conservative radio host, editor, and author Mark Levin. As of last month Levin added “TV” host to his resume, with his new offering broadcast at www.levintv.com. What does one call a video podcast at one’s own website?

“TV.”

(Aside: we are now one step closer to your TV and your computer being the same thing.)

In general I think Levin’s “TV” show is good. The only trouble is I’ve seen it before. Every Tuesday from 2004-2011. It was called Politics After Dark.

Yup, Levin’s show is a complete ripoff of the show I hosted for 318 episodes over seven years, right down to the stairs and fake fireplace.

Commercial free? Comfortable armchairs? Long-form interviews?

Check, check, and check.

Levin lives just up the road from me, and a few years ago when I lived even closer I ran into him several times at a restaurant we both frequented. (I’ll admit part of the appeal of going there was that one had about a 10% chance of running into Mark Levin.) We talked at length several times and I’m sure I would have mentioned the show.

You’re welcome, Levin. You’re welcome.
