He has a podcast. It’s described this way:
Do you like game shows? Do you like politics? Whatever, you will LOVE The Ciquizza anyway. Each week the Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza puts two supposedly smart guests to the test with questions on news, politics, entertainment. The winner will be covered in glory. The loser will be subject to public shaming. For real.
He’s available to make speeches. His booking agency, Leading Authorities, describes him this way:
Renowned Political Analyst and Writer for the Washington Post
Founder of the popular Washington Post political blog “The Fix”
Highly-respected political analyst and must-follow Twitter personality
Focuses on electoral politics and the personalities working publicly and behind-the-scenes to shift the balance of power in Washington
In today’s column, Cillizza says, “The best way to combat allegations—from the president and many of his supporters—that the media is ‘the enemy’ is to simply put our heads down and do our jobs. We aren’t the story. The story is the story.”
