Bloomberg Politics Lampoons the Post-Election Hangover

November 10, 2016 By WHC Insider

Bloomberg’s Griffin Hammond, Matt Negrin, and Alexander Trowbridge have teamed up with celebrities and comedians to create “The Day After it Happened”, a satirical take on the post-election blues. The video goes through some of the highlights, and many of the lowlights, of the wildest campaign in modern history, from the deplorables, to Omarosa entering the Spin Room with Mark Cuban.

Some choice quotes from the video: “Why were so many random celebrities involved in this election?” FOX News commentator Bret Baier said of the media’s role in the election, “I think the numbers went down for press approval.”

Summing up the election, Paul Scheer said, “It was like a training sequence from a movie where you never get better, you just keep getting pushed in the dirt.”

The film featured cameos from Mike Murphy, Sheryl Crow, MJ Lee, George Lopez, Michael Steele, Paul Scheer, Brianna Keilar, Tim Miller, Mandy Moore, Boris Epshteyn, Lis Smith, Alex Wagner, and Mark McKinnon.

October 19, 2016 By WHC Insider

Bloomberg Politics’ Griffin Hammond, Alexander Trowbridge, and Matt Negrin have created a satirical video based on hit film Ocean’s Eleven. Griffin, Alex, and Matt, devise an elaborate plan to find out whether the presidential election can be rigged, and venture to Las Vegas, Nevada to do some reconnaissance. The video gives viewers interesting factoids about the state of the voting system while refuting some of the claims made by presidential candidate Donald Trump.

The video features cameos from Libertarian Presidential candidate Gary Johnson, CBS “This Morning” host Charlie Rose, actor Donny Deutsch, NBC host Kasie Hunt, Vox’s Liz Plank, Bloomberg’s Megan Murphy, Joe Weisenthal, Querry Robinson, Steven Yaccino, Kendall Breitman, TJ Ducklo, and Lauren Spurr.
