A NOTE FROM THE PRODUCER
Tamara Sepper is the Executive Producer of The Long Game.
Investigative journalist Patrick Radden Keefe has spent two decades exposing corruption. The traditional syllogism of his profession is simple: corruption happens, the press exposes it, someone steps in and stops it.
He no longer believes step three is reliable. Sometimes the reporting lands, everyone shrugs, and the thing keeps going.
In this exclusive segment for paid subscribers, Keefe, Jake Sullivan, and Jon Finer discuss how the Lance Armstrong logic (everybody else is cheating, so only a fool doesn’t) spreads beyond politics.
