[Chris Faraone @Fara1]

Imagine you're a professional newscaster covering the #SOTU and you suggest Fetterman is a moderate because he's been flanking Republicans

Come watch me, my friends, & @BINJdotNews staff roast the news, pop culture, & the state of the world Saturday afternoon!

Everyone at DigBsoton/BINJ were the most supportive & encouraging people I’ve ever worked with. I can’t wait to reunite for a fun afternoon of jokes.
